Came across this the other day. Pretty interesting.

Reminded me of this Ducati engined race car I stumbled across at a friends place last month:

I posted a thread on the car above in the "Cages" section.

very cool... Next year I'll be helping out with the Formula SAE team at my college, so I take a great interest in the subject...

though in the end, i prefer my bike engines on two wheels and my car engines on four.
 
Sure! :) but have you seen any footage of the original Ariel Atom with the Honda fireblade engine? Insane! There was a Top Gear episode that showed Jeremy Clarkson's face contort with G forces and air blowing his jowels distorting the hell out of his face. Mad.
 
absolutely have seen it! Though when I see something like the Ariel Atom, I can't help but wonder how she would run with a nice rotary or a v8 crammed between the rear wheels... xD
 
Then type in Ariel Atom V8 on youtube. They've done it. Modified Hayabusa heads on a bespoke bottom end, 500 Hp.
 
Cool stuff! I've always been fascinated by the Morgan three wheelers, speaking of motorcycle engined cars. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun!

A really cool thread! Here's a picture of the early 40's Dreyer midget my Dad owns and restored. It's powered by a 90cu in Knucklehead with two Riley carbs on alky.
