Bec questions

I saw a mk2 escort with a hayabusa motor yesterday
Got me thinking! I have a couple of suitable cars I could use and whole bikes are available for "reasonable" money
I'm looking for advice on basic things like,
Propshaft/drive line
Reverse gear
Gear shifter
Wiring

I would hope to use as much as possible from the donor bike then hopefully sell the rest on

Thanks in advance
Ian

Why would you want to put a bike engine in a tin-top? Bike engines work well in lightweight cars. Just my opinion of course

I suppose the big suzuki engine is quite torquey( for a bike motor) and the sound...

It's on Pistonheads for £8500, spent thousands on this car, it's super quick, worth a look
