Put it in a Jeep

I've always dreamed of that

I hated my 4 banger with the amount of tire I had

60 was my max speed.

Actually is sits right over the rear end. The accessories on the motor stop about 8-10 inches behind the seats.

In this or another Indy car. http://www.race-cars.com/carsales/ot...21891900ss.htm

You can make them street legal depending on where you live. Probably about 1500lbs with the engine in there.
This one is pretty bad **** too: http://www.race-cars.com/carsales/lo...66047124ss.htm
Can you say byebye Z06 and vipers?

It takes some redneck engineering but I have seen a few bugs with SBCs in them. In the rear over the rear end.

I remember when Hot Rod magazine crammed a SBC in a old Chevette. The motor was practically inside the interior cabin.

I like the Chevette option. For smallest, though, BMW Isetta. Found this V8 Isetta in Motor Trend archives. Bet it wheelies well.

I have problems getting run off the road now. I think this would get me run over.

If I had my choice of any car in the world that would be it. Those things are beyond badass.

I remember seeing Darius' videos 6 or 7 years ago and they still impress the hell out of me today. 240Z would be my first choice for a lightweight chassis to put a V8 in.
