if thats a marine engine, its not gonna happen. i think marine engines are not designed for out of water use...theyll die. im not a car/technical person when it comes to this type of thing either, but thats what someone told me once when i said how cool it would be to put in a 400+ HP marine engine into a car. LOL

You have to really pump up your tires to have enough air in them to float your Civic.

There was some show on TNT or Discovery or something. They filled a VW Bug with some foam, installed this huge fan in the back, and raced it against those swamp boats. It was entertaining. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

that was monster garage. a great show if i might add. anyways, that thing probably wouldn't work with our cars, even if it could live out of the water long enough.
