In reply to 93celicaGT2:

There is a reason it is legendary and there aren't many around and the reason is not a good thing.

I think "infamous" would have been a better choice of words.

Then drop the V12 in something completely absurd, like a Fiat 850.

If you're going for absurd, might as well keep it in the family and drop it (mid mounted) in an Isetta 600 sedan.

I'd say just an Isetta, but that engine's probably as long as one....

There was a woman here briefly, Michelle I think, that put that drive train in a very well turned out kit car. It's almost too bad the body on this one is so good.
