Troy, it's fun to dream, but back to reality; and no, I'm not trying to
talk you out of it.
My street car is a V8, my race car is a very serious high performance
BMC 1800cc engine, my experience indicates that without a V8 you'll
never "be able to tear rubber of the line to beat any Honda in ks".
The race car engine has all the goodies, it cost several thousand
dollars, the V8 is an aluminum block Buick 215 V8 ... I picked it up for
$500. You decide.
Have fun.
