Some suggestions about suitable gearboxes, ecus and mounting methods would be good to accompany the engine suggestions.

Still, if those are not needed, then the obvious choice is the W12 from the Bentley Continental.

I've all but given up on looking at engine and gearbox combos ,I'm looking at going very light weight with a 24 speed shimarno set up chain driven to the sierra back diff. This is after watching Bugsy malone again.
Yes I know this will be silly on the A13 but think of the congestion charge!

well you could weld a sprocket ring to the crown wheel and then run a chain up inside where the prop would go fit all your gearing in there if you want to go 24 speed (shimano is good i hear)
im just not sure where you would fit the brake peddel and would you be going for one crank or two?

How about a Nissan engine? The old scimitars with the 135bhp engine used to shift, with a 200sx engine, gearbox etc a roadster would be great!
