    Not really, they are about 1.5million quid each or something crazy. One would fit in the VTS though, cooling would be the issue

    Wouldn't you rather just have a nice cap?

    Engines are sold by the season load. Think $50 is the place to start negotiations

    Bet its Red Bull.

    I used to be an account manager for PC World Business. It sucked, money was great though. Would have liked to do it with a better company. Which company do you work for?

    for the 47th time

    You need to manufacture drive shafts, engine mounts, actually fit the damn thing in, make sure its cooled well, splice the looms together so it all works and then sort out all of the problems when its done. Unless you're mechanically savy its a load of cash

    2k would be pushing it if you did all the work yourself

    and thentheres the gear box, you would need to use a BE box unless you can get a bellhousing made to fit the MA box on.

    You couldn't use the MA box really. The Be is such a nice box though, much better than the MgAy and it doesn't blow up if you give it too much torque
