Just a tad too big for my GTV and I don't think the engine mounts would line up.

You'd probably need a GTV6 bonnet for clearance.

Only show stopper I could see would be with the front suspension.......it will throw the front end geometry right out !

I don't know about the front end geometry but sure would like to know what spring rates would be appropriate.

Neads 2 dozen Rolls Royce jet engines to be converted into turbo chargers to make some real power.
Then I'd start thinking about putting cages on the guibo's and cross bolting the transaxle mounts.
