You should pick up that Rolls Royce Meteor that was posted on here the other day.

Sure, $12k might be slightly outside your budget for a Lemons motor, but I suspect that the judges would totally look the other way on 27-liter V-12 swap of a former tank engine.

Watch this video of some hibilly firing up a Meteor in his garage... turn up the sound LOUD.

Tell me THAT doesn't give you a chubby!

Could get kind of tiresome for your crew though, having to refuel every few laps...

You can burn a valve easily revving it up with no exhaust manifolds, right?
