Not an LSX but it has twin's! Just make sure you "rat rod" up the engine like he did.

Since I have a '51 Merc, I follow the hot rod stuff, and all I'd say is that a lot of rat rods are deathtraps, so please don't build something and then die in it. Guy sometimes parks in my lot, I think I'd die in this car:

Jay Leno's tank car is by no means a rat rod but the turbo setup on it, would look good on a rat.

I'm with John on this. These light cars can move around a lot at speed if the suspension system is not perfectly tuned. Putting that much power in a rat is overkill IMO.
