Mustang with tank engine

Yeesh! All that's missing is the big green monster sticking out of a hole in the roof, holding onto a shifter that's sticking up over his head, and 7 foot tall flames coming out of zoomie pipes just in front of the rear wheel wells.

Several thoughts passed through my mind as I read the story - such as:

If a reliable supply of these engines is ever found, the prospects are frightening. I mean, can you imagine seeing that 1100 cubic inch engine powering a t-bucket?

For the ultimate street sleeper, drop one into the back of a '93 Dodge Caravan (the kind with the fake wood paneling on the sides,) mating it up to an Olds Toronado transaxle and moving the fuel tank under the hood. Keep the Caravan looking stock on the outside, including steel wheels and hubcaps, then tint the rear windows so nobody can see inside. Add a "Mom's Taxi" bumper sticker and go hunting for ricers...

Imagine going to your friendly local Auto Zone and asking the just-out-of-high-schooler behind the counter for a set of spark plugs for it:

You: "I need a set of Champion spark plugs for a Sherman Tank with an 1100 cubic inch V-8..."

He/She: "Does it have air conditioning...?"

Another thought was that CBoy should build his next scratch-built project around one of these engines. Hey, if anyone could pull it off, you could CBoy.
And you'd make it look good too.

I must say, however, that every diehard hotrodder should be saying, "I WANT TO BUILD ONE TOO!" right now... :thumbup:

Add this blower on that Mustang car. Insane
