I'm surprised no one has done this yet. Much like the Monster Miatas. I think it would be pretty fun to put together something like that. I say the most difficult part would be installing the solid rear axle.

I still think a great engine would be one of those World SRT-4 engines. Close to 300 at the crank and there is a huge aftermarket for turbos and other speed parts. One could easily build a 450-500 horse 4 banger with less weight up front.
