I was thinking a chainsaw engine at every wheel, but your idea seems more feasible.

It's a 400, so you need two chainsaws at each corner (assuming 50cc chainsaws).

You would end up with Red Green's AWD rally monster if choice.

I want a Honda V65 engine in this, as well.

Okay, I want a Honda V65 engine in everything smaller than a CRX...
