Motor; 944 turbo, possibly with a 4v head. Light, powerful, torquey. I have an extra 4v engine too if I choose to go that route but lots more expense if I do.
I found this hull out in Penn, very inexpensive as it needed everything, but I'm ok with that.

The guy that built the Eliminator with the Supra motor turned out to be a pretty good runner, despite all the it won't work experts. On the other side with 4 wheels I'm rebuilding a GT

i like the thinking out of the box idea but the expense of building a water cooled exhaust and trying to build a cooilng system to work is going to probably be your biggest headache more so then making mounts and adapters to bolt up to a drive/jet.

No no those thoughts are not unfounded...unfortunately. I have tow the cowl back on the hull and the flat fixed (rotted valve stem), so I'm ready to tow it to a closer place to start the rebuild: yay.
Going with Porsche Guards Red (added flake to match the modern Lexus pearlized white), and the Lexus Pearlized white (two-tone, like this picture).
