Thought you might be interested in our hillclimb car. We have competed on the British hills with it for the last 3 years and over the winter decided to replace the upgraded Brabus with a 2 ltr Toyota MR2. Main reason was the slow gear change and although the Brabus was competitive we fancied a bit of a project and it might even be a world first?
I will post the link on the next post as the website has a restriction on links for new postings

Perhaps have it smog-checked as the engine-donor vehicle?
Nice, clean install though!

(not terribly familiar with CA's rules regarding engine swaps, but that does look interesting...)

That is a very impressive and interesting Hill Climbing machine. I'm sure it's fun on track days and autocross events too.
I hope to see some on board video in action!
