To my knowledge it still spins counterclockwise right? I'd still be stuck with buying the $6000 RWD transmission, and half the power of the B18C1 I already own. :ghey:

And to reply to the post about the LS1, it would suffer all of the drawbacks that the Hemi and nearly every V8 suffers. Too much weight, too much size. I'm looking for a peaky HP curve.

V8's are out of the question for me because of this: http://www.ye-beast.com/ I want to do more with less... and inject some non-american flavor into it as the same time.
