I say if it is your car and you want to stretch it then go for it. It takes crazy ideas sometimes to develop new things so good for you for the effort.

What I don't understand is why stretch the passenger compartment if the point is to put a longer engine in it?

The Boxzilla approach would be much easier if the V12 was really the point.

If it was me I would keep the front of the engine where it is and simply extend the rear of the car to accomodate the new position of the rear wheels. Basically stretching the area in front of the rear wheel arches not the passenger compartment.

It will be interesting to see what it looks like when it is finished.
