    Possibly yeah, but I'll do the normal exhaust first

    Awesome work, reminds me of RWD conversions that some people do on hondas.
    Here's an idea: scale the engine to about 3/4-3/5 of its current size, then slightly lower the torque and give it a lower displacement :) this could potentially balance the car a little bit, to keep it from being too front-heavy or too overpowered.

    It's a high time someone stuffed a V8 into the Covet, thought I a while ago.

    before full release, I need to add configs, pictures and maybe skins. Also revise the exhaust jbeam and possibly add the moonhawk superchargers.
