BAC MONO replica/inspired car project with LS7/G50 in the back????

I was thinking of an LS2/G50, purely from the budget point of view, but that wouldn't exactly be slow would it?

LS3 seems to be the popular choice at the moment if you can't afford the LS7, cheaper option would be the Audi 4.2 v8 with 2wd 01 series transaxle. Still be c400hp and about 1/5th the price.

But the BMW v10 would really do justice to the chassis in terms of look and sound. Even better with a modern take on or replica of the Auto Union D type (always thought the Edge Devil would have made a good chassis base for a AU D Type Replica, Audi based as well, along the lines of the re-released Vanwall a few years back).

Hope someone buys it and uses it for what it was design for - going fast around a track !!!

Looks like a nice project. Out of interest, what height and weight of a man would fit? Im 6"2 and 17stone

Chris, there's no seat in the car at present, if I lie in the tub with my feet where the pedals would be then my head doesn't even come up to the top of the back of the tub & there's around 3" each side of my hips, Ok, I'm only about 5' 7" & 11 stone, but I'd say anyone up to around 6' 6" & 20 stone would fit with ease. We did have a guy at one show tried the Furore for size, he was 6' 8" & 20 stone & we got him in ok - it was entertaining getting him out, but there's a ton more room in the Lola tub than in the Furore chassis. If you were looking to get a large person in the Lola, it would simply be a question of tailoring the seat to fit.

Just a quick note to say - it's back on Ebay at a reduced price, happy to accept a part ex of something interesting etc. if that helps?
