I could see the attraction this with twin turbos, or a supercharger bolted on, would be great fun then! But on its own? No thanks.

the 3VZFE is actually a pretty well built engine it just has some design flaws that would need addressing. They have a forged crank and 4 bolt mains. With some prepping - ie cams, head porting etc, they'd be quite a rev happy beast

Two W8's from one of those VW things. One for each rear wheel.

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

Just put some wheels on an aircraft carrier and be done with it.

Although I'm not sure if they've got a 'midship' engine layout. Image
