Anyone thought about transplanting the engine , box and running gear from a zed into a kit car, for example a Dutton or Robin Hood ? anyone know what kits would be able to accept the parts ?

 

Cheers

 

Sayers

I reckon you would be hard pushed to get enough traction on the rear wheels with a v6 lump in the front. I used to have a robin caterham replica kit thing with a 2L pinto engine and that was very tail happy!

... but the thought has crossed my mind a few times haha

With a spare car looking sad for itself it has been tempting to build a frame around it... but I havent got the time. Maybe in the future though.

seen it in a few things

 

favorite place for the engine besides the z32 is the concept mid-4 (looks funny the wrong way round)

 

this is nice too (e-vade kit car) car is ugly as hell but engine is nice...

 

then this ford is pretty Kool

I've seen pictures on the internets of the VG30DETT in a boat. That thing looked nuts!

I'm sure you could make a few kit cars accept the VG - but I don't reckon I'd do it for the same reason Wchestnutt mentioned above!

 

...Although it might work fine, mounted mid-ships, in something like a replica Lambo Countach...
