A couple of strokes worth of Direct Injection with her would do me some good...

Cool!
Bookmarked it.
Thanks, Elsie!

Two Opel GTs?
Can anyone say, “Project Time!”

If you really want to go wild & crazy, here are a few ideas:

Nope...
4 1/2!
If you wanna go fast and straight; then I guess one could stuff a V8 in one, but for better driveabilty, a V6 (aluminum block if possible) takes a LOT of weight off of the nose.)
I’ve always wondered about opening up the trunk area and putting a front wheel drive engine back there; relocating the gas tank to the front.
Thanks for that link, Elsie. I have done tables of several types successfully using HTML tags longhand, but that will be useful some time or other, I suppose. I, too, have bookmarked it.
I find that the pre /pre tag works just fine for almost all applications I need... can just copy and paste - the most important part of pre is that it forces a fixed-width font, and also forces keeping multiple spaces. That allows pretty simple typing of tables by hand, or simple adjustment of columns after a copy/paste operation.
Bwana- I flew the LookingGlass mission (airborne command post) in SAC - EC-135s mostly (refueling as both receiver and tanker) though also remained current in KCs and supersonic T-38s.
(Not sure where supersonic fits in that scheme of things)
Not meaning to flippant or irreverent, but remember, the Lord said, “...lo, I am with you always...”. Matt 28:20
Also, “...the Spirit of God was hovering...” Gen 1:2
Helicopter: a collection of spare parts flying in loose formation, beating the air into submission!
I suspect the flat-4 engine out of one of those new Subaru/Scion RWD cars would be perfect for the Opel GT. Low center of gravity, no problem with hood clearance and 200 hp without a turbo. Or, if you're more ambitious - the entire AWD drivetrain out of an Impreza. Upgrade to WRX specs later and really make the trees get all blurry.
Heh, I had a car that looked like a Fiat Topolino when I was younger. IIRC, it had a hole in the trunk, through which a large metal key was inserted to wind up the car’s powertrain.

I think it has already been done. At least "Mellow Yellow" thinks so.
