OK, thats the engine that the Datsun 510 had in it. For some reason I
called it a V6 earlier, but it was the aluminum V8. Pretty neat conversion,
the car looked pretty plain, except for the roll cage inside, and of you
looked at the grill closely, you could see it was moved forward about an
inch to make a little extra room for the engine. The aluminum engine would
help keep the car from getting too noseheavy, and between the extra power,
and the 510s ability to handle, that'd make for a fun little car.
