If I was swapping a 3.8 from a grand national it would be “cool” It is a high reving engine that generates significant power reliably. The engine is really far back in the car to help traction and is mated to a super strong transmission with a big stall. It is not a V8 but when you lay it out the facts it should do really well at the track. I guess I just don’t see the fail.

I think you said it best actually.
