When we put it back in, it will be in the front where it’s supposed to be.

Apostate. My vote is 4 rotor with a lenco. Might as well just break every rule ever with 4 rotors,4 shift levers, and one giant middle finger.

Middle fingers painted on the pop-up headlamps.

I need to do that on my car it gets called cute too much for my liking lol.

So what’s the plan? I’ve never seen this done. Do you tube frame that the engine bay so it’s not floppy? Just for shits and giggles you should put in a floor pan. Lose the frunk but gain a munk lol. What engine is going in? This has me pretty curious. How are you going to rebalance the car?

The real plan is putting a blacktop where the now-blown 16v largeport used to live. The munk would be surprisingly spacious if I really did want to make it FF. I would be able to comfortably fit in there with the lid closed. I saw a LeMons team run a dual engine AW11 once where they put another 4AGE in the frunk.

Damn I thought you were serious. It makes no sense but sometimes things have to be done. It would put you in a class you couldn’t possibly win with that setup lol.

Unless.. slam it, urethane side skirts to the ground, and a massive fan to pull air out from under the car...

Hmm... Now we’re talking! Once I have land and more space than I know what to do with, I’ll have to make a full ground effects AW11.

Didn’t they weld the rear halfcut of an AW11 to the front halfcut of an FX16 to make that happen? I believe they called it the FX32.

Yep, pretty much. They have a time lapse up.
