You're not the first one to consider this. Some have given it some serious thought.

THe biggest problem, IMO, is once you get the EG33 into that little car, you're going to have an understeer monster. With the extra weight in the front the thing is going to push into the corners like mad.

Now that would be a blast! Sadly the little bugger and I have parted ways Maybe I should get another, and put the SVX motor in it!?!? I'd have to mount the seat to the motor though...
My biggest hang up with putting the engine in the back of the SVX is how to get it in there! The trunk opening is too small... Hatchback mid engine SVX anyone?

Easy schmeasy mid engined SVX.
1, buy a half truckload of Asti 2, acquire SVX 3 Remove running gear, rear suspension. 3.5 consume much Asti while doing this 4 acquire 2nd SVX with rear end smahed silly 5 cut front structure from said body, then figure out how to center the wheels in the rear wheel wells. 5.5 consume much Asti for inspiration 6 Cut rear structure from good body 7 Weld front structure in it's place. 7.5 Consume much Asti to replace the sweat from the hot welding 8 bolt both front subframes into the new combined bodies. Making sure the engine/trans is attached to the rearmost subframe 9 Brace up new car so it won't sag. 10 consume much Asti in celebration of having the "heavy lifting" done 11 Create a partition behind the front seats. (can't get inebreiated whlist driving) 12 Find "convienient" places for such extraneous parts as the fuel tank, and radiator 13 Consume more Asti just because. 14 buy more Asti, just in case 15 button up your project by actually getting wiring harnesses in place as well as throttle, shifter ETC 16 Thank your personal diety you bought more Asti, by consuming more. 17 Wait AT LEAST 24hrs before test driving your monster. 18 After a successful test Invite friends to a "bring your SVX & Asti Party" Because your region is now completely devoid of Asti. Yeah this is humorous, but there is a grain of truth in it. It CAN be done, if you have the tools, skills, & cash
