Like some of the comments others made below it. I see no wires or fuel lines, trans lines, not qite sure how the trans mated with that engine , no leaking fluids. I seriously doubt it would start. Also like to see them do that in the dirt or on an un- even surface. Kind of a cool engine hoist thingy however.

What's the matter with you George? That transmission is equiped with a Turbo Encabulator. It has to work! :D

I read an article about the concept somewhere. They were talking about having a giant pack of quick disconnects for all of the electrical and fluids. I don't know about the tranny hookup. Easy enough to have a splined slip joint or something. This was just supposed to be a proof of concept it seems.

Here's a link to an article that explains a bit more

lots of neat ideas though. I really like the hindged hood and cooling stack idea. The hood should be easy to rig up.

While I was watching that, the only thing I could think about is weather it was Stacy with a "Y" or Staci with an "I".
