True. It would increase the height a little, which depending on the
bodywork might not work, and the steering might have to be offset. I
was originally designing it to go inside an E-type model, so a V6 or V8
would be appropriate there.
I think the real challenge would be to keep the rough dimensions but
make it front or four wheel drive! ;-)

I think it was two sessions of a few hours each - the first to
experiment with the various different bits, the second to combine them
all together in one car. So probably the best part of a day all in.
Plus a few hours of MLCAD!
