Now that is different!  I've never seen one.  Where is radiator - in one of the wheel well or up in nose on an angle.  Is it front wheel drive? EdNova was wondering how it fit - answer is just.  He was probably thinking it still had a VW pan with H front beam.  I'd leave current engine and add a turbo.  Running the exhaust will be fun.  Can you run down one side rocker panel and exit before rear wheel?  Or Cobra style side pipes.  Assume gas tank is behind rear seat? I've got some Wellington blood - when I read title I translated to "Limey bloke with snaps".

What I want to do is park your car and my car together at this Lime Rock thing in a few weeks. 

--stay with me for this, it's good--

 

So I'm told that the Porsche Corral at Lime Rock is adjacent to the British car corral, and what I picture is your car and my car both right near the edge, between them. Doesn't really matter which one is on which side of the line, now, does it?

 

And we make a couple big poster signs that say

Open our respective hoods, et voila!
