My last 2nd last racecar was an openwheeler with a turbo 3.5 Magna 5 spd fitted at the rear, and was disgustingly quick. Only 200 rwhp for 880kg, but made far to many very expensive V8s look very silly. All that weight on the drive tyres.......
You are onto the right thing. I'm waiting for someone to do a 3.8 rear engine Mirage.....

I know you're gonna die fairly soon after this thing is running but let's not do it sooner eh and use some axles stands next time
I figure if this thing falls on me and i live the nopics will let me get a hoist
I probably should use stands but I dont get under it while its balanced precariously on the jack. Everything is disconnected before hand with the sub frame sitting on rollers. Once its up i give the engine a kick and it rolls out the side.
1990 E30 BMW 318is - In progress!
1974 KE25 Corolla Coupe - So much rust...
1955 Matchless G9 - On the road and loving it!
1954 Matchless G80 - Because the one above runs too well so I need something more broken...
And a fucking 1962 Rover... Because that makes sense
As everyone is saying, super impressive work, I like the way its coming together! Wish I had your fabrications skills, is it something you do for a living or just a hobby?
Its just a hobby but im a mechanical engineer so i like to think that helps a bit. Really i think its more patience and perserverence than any particular skill. I like to give new things a go and learn new skills even if it takes a few goes to get it right. It takes a long time to get stuff done and i still think ive got a long way to go but the end result can be pretty good.
