    When I first bought my square I was talking about this with my dad.  He
being a hot rodder since birth jokingly suggested that I put a Ford 427 in
it.  My first response was "And were do I  mount the radiator, on the
roof?".  He said "No son, just burn alcohol, they don't run that hot".  So
if you really wanted to smoke a Mustang.....  No guarantee you can stop
though! :-)(-:
