Yes it would. Do you have some sort of psychological opposition to putting a gnarly and proper Turbo I6 in one, a la the great 2JZGTTE. I even have a name already 240JZ.

The problem with that is the same as in A-H 3000's, Jags, and the such is the balance. Too much weight up front.

Yea, but you could do killer donuts.
I drove one in the early eighties. It was a small block (327?) with a 280z rear end. It felt pretty balanced.

You and turbos . Inline six? Ok, but putting in the ole American V8 is so...........so..............."American". 
Back in the 70s I finished a 56 AH with a 301 Chevy, PG and 67 Corvette rear for a girlfriend. What a rocket ship. It was just as fast (I'm sure it was faster, but a girl drove it) as my friend's 70 LT1 corvette.

Any update on fixing the blower? I located the crank spacer, pulley, and the belt.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

My brother's school recently aquired a laser scaner. They're in the process of setting it up. If it works, we'll be able to CNC a new front bearing plate "relatively" easily. If that doesn't work out, the fall back is Jeff's budy who is a world class welder/fabricator; he can piece it back together. All we'd have to do in that case is reindex the snout holes to bearing plate. In either case we'll have to turn the snout and make a press fit ring. Anyway, just waiting for word back from my brother.

Oky doky, the staff at the university apparently bypassed the minor detail of control software for the laser scanner, so it won't be operational til the fall. Balls to that, so as soon as I sell some plasma, we'll be handing it off to bird's welder pal for refabrication. May the force be with us.

My friend has a fresh fully forged 250 I6 in his garage for his 66 stang. Cyl head is on the way after it gets ported and soon after a Garrett turbo.

Just think what that vehicle would do with same amount of money put into a 302. Yep, a whole LOT faster.

AGREED
You won't see any funky inline motors under Cambria's hood. Now if I get my hands on a 787b, no promises.
