I wouldn't worry. This thing will fly. And you may just read about it in a magazine sometime next year.

Are you trying to say that a Northstar V-8 weighs only a 100 pounds more than the origional 4 cylinder??? I think it would be a little more than that... Not to mention when you start driving these things aggressivly, you have to know how a Mid engined car will react to your inputs... A car that has an extra (I'll call it about 2 times what you said...) 200lbs in the rear than Toyota meant for it to have is gonna have some interesting handling caricteristics... I don't own one but have done quite alot of work on my freind's since he didn't know jack about them and didn't want to learn... I just don't think I would put a V-8 in that little body...



PS I can't spell to save my life...
