What engine for a Lotus7/ Ratrod?

[Roert42]

Since the Wankel was already mentioned, a boxer type engine to keep the weight down low: Fuhrman 547, Corvair Spyder, 906/911 Or for visual appeal a small V-12 like a Colombo.

Yes. I always forget about this motor. Super cool.

It's gotta be the smallest American production v8, as well as all aluminum, and probably the first American turbo v8..

Awhile back there were a few longblocks on ebay for around 800$.

It was probably the smallest but some others were pretty close.. The first flathead V8's were 221 as were the first Windsors used in the 62 Fairlane/Meteor.

Nothing screams more than screw the environment than a diesel ratrod. Plus, you get to pss off prius owners...

Or my favorite, add tracks... nothing says GTFOOTW more than a tank...

remember this guy...
