Rob, bike engines arent particularly torquey so they dont really suit car installations.
The Westie/ Caterham 7 / RoHo etc cars with bike engines fly for the simple reason of the weight and state of tune. Theyre tuned to the gunwales and in cars that weigh nothing.
I wouldnt do a bike install in a Bravo, however a 2.4 5 cylinder engine or an Alfa V6 wouldnt be unobtainable... If you want inspiration...have a dribble at the TC next door

Ruins the fun.
I could go and buy a Toyota Supra 3.0L with two turbos or a fast German estate car or something equally extortionate to run, but the main thing I ask myself in why I havent is: 'wheres the fun in doing that?'
Any Joe can walk into a car showroom and buy an off-the-shelf fast car, but to make one thats reliable and really off the wall takes someone rather special, or a team of special people
