In the ongoing battle to extract as much speed out of a mighty boy as possible people talk about turbos and the big 800 engines or even a swift gti engine transplant if it could be squeezed in which from what I've read would be very difficult space wise.
Has anyone given any thought to transplanting a motorcycle engine into a mighty boy??????
Now I realise there are issues with the different drive systems and gearboxes and it would also be a pretty expensive exercise but back in my youth people were transplanting all sorts of engines into all sorts of cars. 351 V8's into Cortinas, 302 V8's into bluebirds it was all the rage. Now if you could transplant a Hayabusa engine which puts out around 150 hp in standard form into a mighty boy you've got yourself a very potent weapon.
Anyway as I said I know very little about transplants and mechanicals in general but since I've been bitten by the mighty boy bug I have given some thought to doing something a bit different once I get my hands on one.
Any response will be appreciated.
Flaming the n00b will not be accepted however telling me that it wont work for whatever reason is acceptable. Don't however tell me that it is so totally outrageous that it might actually work because it will only encourage me to look into it further.
