can some one tell what would a good engine be for a project. something that will scream in a lite body. a engine that i could pick up at a good wrecking yard. and one that i can put a tranny on the back so i can install it in a rear wheel drive chassis. i just got done with a v8 conversation in a chevy luv truck and now gas prices suck so i want to build a mini hotrod thanks eric
An engine from a wrecked Honda S2000 or almost any BMW or Mercedes. Jason

honda motors are hard to beat, especially if you learn how to drive them properly, i.e. with the revs up at the red line.
regarding the rest of the project, it's been done before:
You can put a 350 in an old Chevy Vega or a rear engine corvair. Not much on milage, but the sure scream.
My motorhead brother put a 454 in a Vega many years ago, "modifying" (ripping the bejeezus out of) the firewall to make it work. He reported it didn't steer well but could really accelerate!

Just keep it in a straight line!
