What is the point? I am not sure I see one. If it is for portability, I would really steer clear of that Ford engine, or any other American engine (although I drive a Ford...) and stick with a much smaller more efficient Euro engine. Concept is interesting.

Bah...he needs more HP! Find an old Chevy 350 or Pontiac 400. Get some major HP to that beast!
