It definately would be THE doughnut machin of the century with that much power and light weight and then of course you can go and tune it some more!
Watch this one keenly guys as it will benefit all of us as this chap will no doubt become the master of getting traction after driving this for a while! And i though i had it bad in my capri!

Most modern cars have far more power than the tyres can handle already.
But I suppose they also have traction control.....

Cracking project right up my street
Where did you find the engine? How much did you pay for it?
If you ever abandon the project first dibs on the motor

You'd be better using the block as a stressed member if possible, to add overall strength to the chassis.
fabricate a lot of mounts to the block and gearbox from various points on the frame chassis.
The closer to suspension pickups, the better.
Cool project though..it will be an animal !
