Re: [doc] Engine swap

[dmcjohn@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Depends on how you drive of course. DMC frames are very weak, and 
supposedly can handle only 150 ib/ft of torque in the engine 
compartment before distortion would occur. Any engine conversions I 
have seen have added supports to teh engine bay area of the frame.
