Mate I don't know how much you know about Enzo's but once you put that small block into one you'd have a brick. No semi auto gearbox traction control adjustable ride height etc.
I knew what your point was but i still disagree, you have changed what you said, there is a guy in Melbourne that builds any bell housing needed for any conversion, so you would have all the same electronics, just running the Chevy engine, which is only 20 lbs heavier, stick some Brodix cylinder heads and the Chevy is about the same weight as the V12, same or more power in the same chassis means faster in my book... Remember , we were only changing the engine, everything else, traction control etc will remain the same..
Anyway, you want power to weight, go buy a GSXR 1000 and blow them both away...
Well not quite my friend. All that traction control/ride height is directly tied to engine management. Tying that to your theoretical 651hp small block won't be easy. Not to mention trying to drop that into a carbon monocoque chassis. Let me.know how you get along with your conversion. I mean all you need is a crescent wrench and some JB Weld right?
651 HP for a small block Chev is quite easy, and adapting the electronics isn't that hard at all, an engine is an engine after all and the engine management is all computerized, to someone that knows how to remap these systems , its not that hard at all, just like fuel injecting a Honda 4, quite easy really. If you've never seen a small block anything push 651 hp or more then you need to get out more often.... There are more performance parts for the small block chev than any other engine on the planet.

Explain to me why an engine swap of relatively the same weight can't be done on a carbon chassis.? Engine mounts are easy to fab up and carbon fibre is relatively easy to work with, even the electronics aren't that complicated by todays standards. I won't respond to anything else you post as you clearly think that things that are done on a daily basis {engine swaps, including engine management systems} can't be done and are possibly to much for you to fathom, Oh, and Good luck with the JB weld bud....
Sorry for the hijack guys....
