That looks like a real mean engine, I like it ( Still got dribble running down my chin )
I guess that marine engine would be coupled to a Jet drive unit so would need to produce a whole bunch of torque & scream like a banshee.
The jet drive would have some kind of bell housing, might be available as a single unit.
One thing for sure, it would probably cost big,big bucks to hook it all up in a car.
Like your thinking though, nowt wrong with thinking outside the box for a unique set up
