13B Mazda rotary is the pat answer. There are several sites detailing the
conversion. fast and light, they sound funny though. You can also use a RX7
drive train.
The $2002 GRM challenge winner had a Cosworth Vega engine did 12sec.in the
1/4 if I remember correctly.
I'm dying to try a 4.6 supercharged Ford.
I'd have to look up what engine was in the Bugeye that won E-Mod this year
at the Solo2 Nats.
