Lovely.
 
Pah!!
I'll put my 1275 up against them two anyday!
~Can I have one of each please?~
 
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I thought I was going to set the world on fire changing out my 948 for a 1275!!!!!!!
 
That Jag Midget is pretty cool. At least he's keepin' it in the family.

I couldn't load the v10 motorcyle. But I read an article a few years back about a feller who put a Zephyr V12 in a scooter. When aske why he did it, he replied, "Well I had this Zephyr motor sittin' around..."
 
That 478 hemi writeup is nasty. 6 inch drive shaft?? Those wheels in the back must make up 50% of the width of the car too!

Though I woudn't ever consider such a radical engine swap, I certainly do appreciate the engineering and mechanical skills necessary to put them together. They make for quite impressive machines when done.

Gas here is about $6.50 /gal so if it ever could be registered, it couldn't be driven much. As for registering, if it wasn't TĂśV approved, forget it.
 
$6.50 /gal, my god that's awful. Well lets see for $7 you can have a nice 50 mile drive in the Bugeye. Or for $50 you can fill the tank and even spill some.
 
I have seen that jag conversion in person. Looks to be coming along nicely. that fella is not very far from me.

That looks to be the nicest of the lot, too, Mark.

I agree with racingenglishcars. Not a big fan of the idea but appreciate the ones that're done well. I've seen too many cob-jobs. The most common seem to be the "Jagulet" Chevy V-8 ones. IMO replacing an elegant twin-cam six with a pushrod lump is just dumb.

Want a Chevy? Go buy one... They're CHEAP! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif
