Keith,
I prefer the "Slant-eyed Sprite"
There are some inexpensive, high horsepower, small displacement, injected
Datsun/Nissan motors that would work and then you could use the name with
some great graphics you could put on in the driveway. That way you could
use the fan on you instead of the carb's. Use a sllide throttle instead
too.
