The engine is a 27 litre tank engine ;D

It is like a Spitfire engine but with out the supercharger.

A guy has just put one in a SD1 Rover :o

Here's a slightly more feasable idea :o Its a mk2 Granada from the Norwegian Granada club, but just imagine that in the engine bay of our scorps ;D

Apparently it's a 11.4litre Twin Turbo Ford Motorsport BOSS engine and develops about 1300 bhp, and thats without the 3-400 bhp shot of NOS!! With 1100-1200 lb ft of torque it'd also be a good car for towing with ;)

Its even road legal!

I've seen it in a couple of Norwegian motor magazines plus a few sites on the web, and caught a few interviews with the owner. That is one CRAZY car. Wonder what an engine like that would have done to a Scorp ;D

I hope it tows his caravan better than my Mk3 Granny towed mine. It was :( :-[ :-[
