Would be no good in a Westfield or Caterham, the 2JZ is too heavy.

 

A tidy TVR chassis with a blown engine should be fairly easy to find and not too expensive :D

 

If you could mate the donk up to the box cheap enough it would work out cheaper than doing a getrag upgrade. Wouldn't make the windows, air con or any of the other electrics work any better, and suspension parts would snap like chicken bones still as well.

The 2J is too tall for the majority of TVR's, you would need to have a massive bulge in the bonnets, even a Chevy motor needs a huge bulge in a Tuscan, just about goes in a cerbera though.

 

Id like to stick one in a Z4, there would be no cutting etc.

I reckon the only suitable kit cars would be the Big Healey replicas (Sebring/Haldane) or maybe some of those that are in the spirit of the 1930s two seaters (NG TC, Marlin Sportster). Perhaps better to use the N/A, though...

 

You'd definitely need something a bit heftier than a Se7en-type.
