This 1976 Lotus Elite with a 327 cubic inch Chevy can be yours if the price is right.

Not quite as bad as the Henry J with the Allison aircraft engine...

good gawd....................they may not be a good looking car but there should be a law. Who wakes up one morning and thinks this is a good idea?

At the NEC Classic Car Show this week-end (for non UK folks, this is the largest show we have) there was a motor-cycle described as a "V8" powered by two Hillman Imp engines. It looked so stupid that even I did not take a photograph!
Cheers,

It can be done and you can take it racing....
This is an entrant for the 24 Hours of Lemons.
Small block Chevy. Weak link were the front uprights/spindles, so the builder fabricated new ones.
There is no cure for Lotus, only treatment.
