Hmmmmm (Harley engine swap?)
Buddy and I was talking the other day, and we wondered if it would be possible to put a Harley v-rod motor or better yet a pair of them in a Smart.

It could be called a Smarley.

V-Rod motor

I discussed this on another thread as I have a V-rod. Fabulous motor, lots of torque/hp/rpms, EFI, water cooled, and great sound. If I were to embarq on a project car this is the way I'd go...

Been up to Hollister and seen the Corbin Motors stuff, but I think he gave up on the line.

They used the aircooled vtwin. the V-rod is a water pumper better choice.

If I had the time, a spare Smart and a lot of cash I would try it.
