Hey Bas,
Welcome to the forum. You know that you can put pretty much any engine in the back of the SLC right? Fran designed it in such a way that anything from a 4 cylinder Subaru WRX drivetrain to a Viper V10 can be shoved back there. The only limit is your imagination, and budget of course. If you want the performance & sound of the Skyline's RB26DETT behind your head, then by all means get a drivetrain minus transmission and go for it. You'll probably save some weight as well. I always thought a twin turbo 4 rotor wankel in the back of that thing would be insane, but my budget is more along the lines of the Superlite Roadster. Hehe. But anyway, Fran has left the powerplant option open for you to do as you wish, he's one of the first & only people to make a modular designed car like that. See what you can find near you and what will be cost effective for you.

Laters,

Brian
