Look up the smart car with a busa engine in it on you tube. That looks fun!
Personally, I would like to find a rhino or something to put it in! But I am kinda crazy like that!
I am not useless, I can still be used as a bad example!

Some states allow these to be street-legal. It's hilariously fun to drive.

Personally, I would build something for the offroad like a mini sandrail. I know thats not what your after, but thats much power on the sand would be awesome.
Or sell the engine and have some money to dump into your car

This is a good idea:

It's a Honda S600 more or less, carbon fiber body replica. Engine sits next to driver (in box). Cars weights 1700 lbs with driver, probably 1500 or so without.

Anglia...an english Ford. Use the smart car drivetrain layout and your legs can fit under the dash then. This is actually something I have thought about....a lot.
The problem with a t-bucket is that you sit ON it instead of IN it. not good for autocrossing.

GREAT suggestions guys!! Thanks, I really like the Mini idea but they are hard to find reasonable, the Honda S600 is VERY cool. I am thinking seriouslyon putting it in the 356 but I also wanted to put the 3800 Supercharged in it so I am undecided. May keep my open for a early Civic or Golf like above........

Put it in a Harley. Might get you killed though.
I would stick it in something British, maybe a MG Midget. Whatever it is, keep it small and light, should be lots of fun.Mike Lara

While I love the novelty of my R1 mini, I can honestly not recommend the swap to anyone. Too much hassle

if you are a GM guy, what about a Fiero? Kind of heavy at 2500 lbs, but I'm sure weight can be pulled from lots of places..
