26B in an 8?
 
would such a monster fit into the engine bay of the 8? I've seen it in FDs and I've seen 20Bs in 8s but never a 26B

I've been doing a little scouting on that and it would take some modifications to the chassis make it fit. Nothing major. By the time you dropped another 250 lbs that far forward you'd want a rear mounted transaxle to maintain the perfect balance.

you thinking of going for it?

how much would the engine alone cost

are you willing to spend over 20k just for a 4rotor and make it a useless drag car? thats the big question. you wont have room for anything else once you get a 26B. i could imagin the motor being moved behind the firewall a lot in the 8.

why a useless drag car, you can make a decent high-powered (gas gobbling) street car with a 20B, will a 26B not work the same way?
