That's if there is room in the back. Based on his email, I think he wants to put it in the back seat. That's going to present some interesting challenges. Remember that the 928 has it's transmission in the rear connected with a torque tube to the front. I guess the torque tube could be eliminated and bolt the engine into the 928 transmission. Then he'd have a mid-engined van. Awww... this is just as crazy as that jet powered MR2. Sud, "Build it and they will come."
