The whole British V-8 site is pretty fun reading material, but I particularly like this project. Really great stuff.

Beautiful car. I didn't realize the SHO engine was so good looking!

Very cool car. I'd rather have something like this over a V8 Miata.

I didn't realize the SHO engine was so good looking!

And the sounds I bet it makes. I really want to find an audio clip of that exhaust.

The SHO sounds freakin beastly when the secondary intake runners open up.

Very nice... I love to see stuff like this.

I ran into a MG with a Ford 2.3L turbo in it at the '09 British car show at Berry College. Very nice install, probably made it a fun drive.

At the Houston Nationals some years back I saw a Sprite with a NA 20b making about the same numbers. Craziness.
