This is badass. The power of alcohol and imagination!

 :righteous: sounds better than it goes by the looks of it. It's the coolest thing I've seen today though.

 I had an Evinrude 2T 115 hp V4 in a boat. It was a really great motor. Flawlessly reliable, powerful. They had a 150hp version using the same bore and stroke with different exhaust duct and induction (carbs). The same basic design is used in the 4, 6, and 8 cylinder.

That being said I'm not totally sure it would make a good engine for a car. Boats do not vary throttle position much. I'm sure they have addressed that on the Rudezon. I might have chosen a different host. But I am not Swedish. Maybe a Saab Sonnet?

 :jacked: my dad had a Sonnet, I think a '69. It was the smoother, more rounded body style, not the later, more angular body. Had a hot-rodded V4 and a 4-speed on the tree; what fun to drive once I figured out the 2nd to 3rd shifting maneuver. Probably should have bought that car...
