Champion Motorcars website (I believe) has a customer who built a kit w/ this 
setup, I believe he ended up w/ a 3.8 0-60 car, 6 forward speeds.  Quaife makes 
a reverse-gear adapter for almost any motorcycle engine/gearbox combo...

The only problem I had w/ the Hyabusa setup is the 'locost' idea - 3k for a 
wrecked engine ain't exactly a bargain!  

I'm going for the lower end of '#250 lbs'...

'65 Austin Healey Sprite - Too small
