Not Ranked

Somehow an electric motor does seem more appropriate than a Chevy engine.

I do think a Ferrari engine would be a step lower than a Chevy.

Weirdly enough, I like the straight 6 cylinder idea. You could make reasonable Hp with the Ford 300 straight 6 with a little work. Problem is from oil pan to valve cover I think it would be too tall. Maybe the old Chrysler slant 6 would fit. Yeah I like it. I think you guy's have helped me see the light.
