Ahh screw it, its a 5 liter twin turbo nitromethane powered 4 cylinder built by norwood racing, rated at 4,000BHP!!!

 

all thrown in an integra styled funny car designed to do 250mph in 5.5 seconds at the quarter mile.

 

I would give it a read. I had the stupidest smile throughout the whole article.

4.8 liter four cylinder... DAMN! I want that engine in my 720, forget the turbos, nitro methane, etc... just build it naturally aspirated on 91 octane gas. Bet it would still make well over 500hp!

There was a s30 with a ford show driveline mounted in back years ago but I haven't been able to find it for some time now. 

I dont really see the point of a boxer for an s30 mid engine application. There would most definitely be fitment issues. 
The northstar swap for fieros is pretty cool. 

considering the weight distribution issue with having 5ft of empty hood I would go with dual motor lol. Now that would be nasty...

Wanna make the bitch scream, drop in a supercharged K24A1, stock engine with a Rotrex will pull 365hp with nothing done other than supercharger and Kpro. Plus you get the greatest transaxle transmission ever built. I thrash mine all day long with 300,000 miles on it, and it sees the track regularly. Never misses a gear or feels anything unlike the day I bought it.

 

Or if you wanna make stupid ass power, K24A2 will put out over 500hp with the same Rotrex, or you can turbocharge for similar power levels. (and the trans will still hold it)

 

If you are serious, a transaxle drivetrain will make your life much much easier, and will also keep the weight distribution correct (K series hang over the front of the axles)

 

If you arte trying to keep it Nissan then use a transaxle SR20VE, only issue is the transmissions are total shit for high power holding.

mmmm subaru sounds like a great option 

also LS motors are very common rear mount in sand rails so there are probably adapter kits available to different tranny configurations
