Default CBR1100 motor into a EF chassis?

i knwo it sounds crazy as ----.... but hell it could work...

After I finish my turbo honda build in 2 years I was thinking of doing a 1100 honda bike engine into a EF chassis... would be a high revving mother ****** and have sequential shifting! of course there would be the problem of getting the output of the transmission into a differential and out to the wheels via axles......

but has anyone else ever thought of this? it would be fun as hell

ps... it would be my project to build thorughout my engineering degree

If you could do it dirt cheap I'd say go for it but that may not be possible as you would be fabing a lot of stuff, mounts, axles, differential like you said etc...etc.

By itself with the CBR motor it would be pretty fun, but add a turbo in to that mix and it would be downright terrifying

I've seen a cbr900 engine in a older UK escort but it was RWD. ALot easier then trying to do a FWD setup. Even when it wasn't boosted it still moved pretty good and could light up the back tires. I've always wanted to do this but in like a 1g rx7.

Those motors dont have much torque but they sound good. Why not put one infront and one in the back and let this be your insperation: Ultima GTR twin hayabusa engine http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/custom-...ine-029819.php
