Assume a 901 transaxle and disc brakes for a nice-sunny-day-midwest-summer-car.

Also, Assume I can spell INJECTION correctly! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)


-REVISION-
Here is the pricing info Beck Spyder.

The 2165 motor has a 9mm larger crank. I know in general shorter cranks spin easier, any concerens here?

the motor would depend on what size tire you are going to put on. (i would go with a six). an air cooled motor will nuke unless you can seal up body to make the engine suck cool air. my.02 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) . the 904 is equally cool.
