By all this do you guys mean that the engine has to be used on front wheel
drive? I've seen a few FWD engines that seemed small enough to fit in an Alpine
engine bay, if turned sideways of course. Can't the FWD transmission be swapped
out for a more traditional unit? Or am I thinking in too basic terms?

Just mount the new engine in the trunk, then you'd have all that room under
the hood to be able to fit _two_ sets of clubs in there. Maybe you could
convince your local University's Mechanical Engineering department to do it
for free as a challenge ;)
