I had a friend with a Porsche Super 90 and a Karman Ghia [Polish Porsche
(-:] .  He wrecked the Porsche and put the engine in the Ghia.   
Surprised a lot of other Ghia owners at stoplights!

Radio content: we both worked for a company that produced military
communications jamming units, CGS Labs in Stamford, CT.  Owned by Carl
Sontheimer, who later created the Cuisinart food processor.  Pretty
amazing guy, Google him.

Jay,
I assume that's a typo and you really meant "Bug burn rubber".  But I
have. 
I had a friend and class-mate at LA Tech before I went to Vietnam who 
wned a Microbus with a Corvair Spyder engine.  It would run off and
leave a ug.  It ate clutches and throwout bearings.  And it would haul a
BC-610 transmitter (at least three times that I know of).
