That was an early consideration. However, the Gen III suffers from the same issue as the earlier variants. There's nobody home down low. You have to get the revs up to find any torque. It would be a fun motor but similar to driving around a pickup.




As for my OD swap, I do have the lockup trans and converter.


Turbos have been calling me, especially since I still have them but that would be an even bigger distraction than what I've already got in front of me with the Imp and the roadster to follow.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
