NOT that I'm advocating for a swap, but the tuner-crowd gets some pretty serious numbers out of their small-displacement mills. For that matter, the current issue of Hot Rod Deluxe has a cool feature about squeezing maximum power out of a four-banger Ford flattie.

On that note, I've always though an Iron Duke would be a cool engine in a stripped-down short-wide.

I guess it's like the old saying goes, speed costs money. How fast do you wanna go?
