Can you toss the multi fuel duce and a half engine in this thing? Will it fit.. yes it'll be slow but it'll run on everything from gasoline to Jim beam.

Actually, the automatics in my parents' Audi Q5 and Porsche Boxster are pretty nice.

Dual clutch shifters are faster at gear changes than anyone with a manual can be.

Why not wire up an electric pump just ensure you have an accessible switch to cut it off if poo poo hits the fan.
Did it with my vw. (I mean it wasn't a converted tbi to carb)

Its not a matter of poo poo hitting the fan or not, an electric fuel pump for EFI engines in most cases produces about 80 PSI, and a mechanical pump produces 6-8 PSI. If you try to hook up a carburetor to a fuel pump made for a fuel injected engine, you will experience a lot of problems if you dont have a bypass to return the excess fuel to the tank.

This is 100% true.


Also, I once looked for a bus / train ride to NYC (a 6 hour car ride for me or like 1.5 hour flight). Tickets for the bus / train were within 30 dollars of a train, and both were going to take between 12 and 16 hours.

'Twas the night before AImas, when all through a field
Not a suspension was creaking, though the wind didn't yield.
The socks were flung on a fender without care,
In hopes that St. Inchmortan soon would be there.

When out in the field I heard such a clatter I opened the door to see what was the matter.

While peeking outside I saw with such ire
That inchclauses sleigh was indeed on fire.

I sort of envy people who can experience the 14 INCH RIDE from the start.

I experienced 14" from the psychlobe days, and it's been a hell of a ride..

Like I said to my goon brother, 14" always has the answer to "how much worse can it get".
