That would require a bit of firewall surgery and a stouter differential with a LSD unit.

It always blows my mind how few miles an engine like this can go before they need major servicing, and how incredibly expensive that service is. This is a pretty low price for an engine like that, for sure! My friend Steve recently did major work on that Ferrari that sold for 40 million... he said it was pretty crazy walking into his shop with a million dollars in engine metal sitting on the stand next to his Rabbit diesel pick up.
