it's still a tiny motor that has to rev forever to make power. It would be horribly underpowered below 5-6k RPM. Plus you have to figure out how to get a gearset and rear diff ratio that would work with a 14k redline and powerband that starts at 9k.

In that case, I'll just have to save that swap idea for an old Suzuki Swift, mid-engine style like those "SHOgun" Festiva's from 15yrs ago. 
How about a twin-turbo'd 4.0L Rover aluminum V8, running on propane with a flat crankshaft?
