Do i sell my v8 engine?

Drive a bike engined car and you will see what I mean....yeah they may not have the same top speed but it's how they get to where they are going that will have you giggling like an idiot...nowt like being able to really kill the beggar without it wanting to throw you over a hedge or dump you off the back. And I prefer bikes over cars any day of the week...so why I have I got a Veedub bus and happily bumble along at 50mph...

Do not give up just yet on the V8, no body said it was going to be an easy thing to build. If your still scratching your head over the height of scuttle and the engine 'I have a cunning plan ma lord'. Your not exactly short so with you sitting in the chassis put a 200mm high box on the nose and hold a broom handle from the top of the box back towards the scuttle. If you can still see over the top of the scuttle your in luck. Instead of using a fibreglass scuttle make your own from a set of rear tub bars,some steel sheet and P38. If your thinking what am I doing this for give me a bell and i'll come over and see if I can help.

Thanks for the offer phill. i cant decide what to do yet. car has got to be completed (well ready for iva by next july) but think that i will regret not using the v8 and going for the easy option.

Tried out your idea after i saw you last week and i think that it will work. going to properly install engine & gearbox then decide about keeping v8.
