Yeah I hadn't actually considered the better torque stability, but that would also be a plus.

I got to thinking and it may be the best idea(key operator = may) to insulate the exhaust pipes. With asbestos. . .or since its the 21st century how about mylar and some pink fuzzy coated in flame retardent spray and maybe a very thin aluminum shield(also doubles to bring the underside of the car to lowest drag possible(and then I can wax it. . .)). But if that were done I could route the pipes into part of the trunk(where the spare goes) and put a stirling there. would just have to mount it inline and pipe air from outside in the same gap and then out the same gap(through separate pipes same hole).

Obviously its more beneficial for the engines to be mounted up front for increased traction(FWD) and the heat would not dissipate, but thats asking to get alot of room out of my engine bay only removing a trans and both cooling fans.

I will definitely be going to visit my family over thanksgiving and my neighbor with the engine to check and see exactly what kind of HP and weight. . .
