At this point I need to change a couple plugs on the EFI harness and the wee beastie will be ready to fire. It really feels silly to put this engine in that car but I guess that the kind of thing I'm known for. The whole mess makes me smile and that's all that really matters.

Those cars you mentioned are smaller than the Imp but they do, indeed, float down the road. When it comes to a collision, I'm afraid the car would survive much better than the occupants. I tend to be wary of being T-boned in the Imp. That half height B pillar will lay down and I'd have the offending vehicle sitting in my lap.
