Unless you mount the motor sideways, it won't fit. It's a inline 4
cylinder, lined up from front back, not transverse like a jap
motor...

the BMW engine except that in stock form with a catylic converter it
makes about 85 hp. I threw it out there because it fits our needs (I

Thanks ... Jay Novak

You make the most sense and articulate your ideas and suggestions
quite logically!
Personally I like the idea of the BMW motor. Do you think the same
driveshaft configuration will work, this eliminating the chain??? The
only other change I would like to see is a front and rear wing.
Thanks!
