I followed many a post on the bluebird list concerning the infamous L/Z
hybrid motors. The Hybrids are even TALLER than the plain L motors. So tall
in fact that they have to do some major engineering to rig a super long
timing chain. I would venture that one of these in a roadster would have the
"60's" "Ratfink" look (remember? cartoon cars with enormous motors sticking
out of the hood, driven by slavering beasts)
