Just the engine

Im an engine builder so its going to be rebuilt... then either supercharged or twin turbo'd

Should put out around 300bhp

Now a go-kart... :dozing:

How would you do that?


How could you only get 300 hp from a blown V8? Are you going to leave some of the pistons out? :) :)

Lol... you rekon i'd get more than that? They are 165bhp standard... im gussing that doubles with turbos... so 300ish?

Im now thinking a spaceframe style car with the engine where the passenger would be with gearbox running to the rear axle

:)

high lift cams, 4 barrel carb, maybe some cylinder head work..

dont bother with superchargers or turbos your asking for reliability problems.


then find something interesting to fit it into.
