Is the volvo b25 worthy of note?
Thinking a turbo under the sump for a long, slender cowling.
The range rover v8 seems the benchmark, could the b25 add turbo outclass it for power to weight?
I've lifted a subaru bare block and Vw type bare block and the suby weighs a ton more, I'm not totally sold on Subaru.
What is the final say on lightness vs torque/hp?

Dead end street?
Good prospects?
