Lamborghini Hand-Built in Basement

I hope this isn't a repost, I did a search and couldn't see on, but this is definitely awesome.

Lambo with Ford V8 POWAHHH!

Seventeen years ago, Ken Imhoff watched Cannonball Run and became so enamored with the Lamborghini Countach in the film, he hand-built his own, in his basement. In what we imagine might be the most Jalopnik build ever undertaken, Ken designed and fabricated his own tig-welded frame, installed a thoroughly massaged 351 cubic inch V8 with a ZF-25 5-speed transmission, hand-formed the aluminum body over a meticulously measured and accurate body form, and finished it all off in a beautiful metallic gray. It took Ken 10 years to complete the project, and the results — as you can see both in the gallery and in the video below the jump — are amazing. There's only one problem, when you build a car in a basement — how do you get it out? Find out below.

Amazing. When you spend so much time and effort building something like this, you need to make sure you've chosen the right motor.

Posted a couple of times last week mate. But an awesome result to do that yourself in the basement

I guess cost of engine, ease to modify and availability of parts also is a key factor in choosing the 351 ;)
