I've got one of those crackerbox first-generation Hondas stashed away out in the pasture. I've been tempted to fit a small block Ford engine like a 260 or 289 and a square tubing frame to it, but so far I haven't found the time. There's also a Volkswagen square back out there that's just begging for a Crown-style mid-engine V8. I'm thinking of turning the VW transaxle around like the mid-engine sand rails do, which will get the bell housing pointed the right way, and using a Rover aluminum V8 which has in its ancestry the 215 cubic inch Buick/Olds V8's from the 1960's.
