No offense taken! Typing in ideas is about 100000 times easier than getting it done in the real world!
The Midget + G10 motor is definitely building built!
Here is where we removed the stock engine,

and trial fitting the G10 motor:

And here is the engine running on a stand, after I figured out the wiring!

(IF you look to the very left, you'll see my extra engine)
The current question is whether I just put the stock motor in it now,
or do all the trick work to it for maximum efficiency, and make it a hybrid.
I have another G10 engine that I can do all the tweaks to and put this high mileage one in the car now. But once its running, THEN you ask if I'll ever really get to the tricked-out engine part! That is why I think I should do the engine work now, cause it might not get done later.
I was posting to the team swift site, but was planning to document it here instead. Of course I have my own website, and i'll show it off there once its done.
I was working on the brakes today, the stock master cylinders are toast.
I'm putting in some Wildwood cylinders and will have to tweak the pedal assembly to make them work. Pulled the stock gas tank. I want to replace it with a plastic tank to save 10-15lbs. Spent hours researching alternatives, all the race tanks are not the right size. I'm thinking of using a pair of 2.5 gallon HDPE containers ahead of the rear axles just behind the seats, which is the safest place for the gas tanks (and also move the weight inboard). I'll see if that will work once I get the containers.
This also frees up the under trunk area for some batteries.
