VX motor in a Insight?

[rh77]

As these vehicles wear out and become too costly to repair to original condition:

1. They should be inexpesive to purchase
2. (with the batts removed) Light and Aerodyanmic
3. and a great project.

Especially the 5-speed models will provide the best benefit unless the modifier is willing to do a tranny swap. The 3-cyl engine should last forever.

EDIT: adding an alternator and ignition system wouldn't be too bad. The engine is made in other markets for non-hybrid applications, so the parts should be available, right?
