'twas hella fun, too. Weighed 2400lbs. Those HP figures are at 7k feet; at sea level it made 30% more. 50/50 weight balance. The pain in the ass is that 17-year-old kids aren't the best chassis designers, even when they're me, and cooling was always a bitch.

It's stranded in New Mexico right now. If I were to rebuild the silly thing, I'd probably put it on an ML430. Dumb thing is I had to cut the Scout chassis down by 15"; apparently in England they do it all the time because it's a pretty easy swap onto a Land Rover.
