Actually that is but one variant of the "Locost". The original Locosts in England used small Fords as their donors, ans sense then just about anything you can think of has been used. You can get the Locost build book that has the basic plans that you can modify to your particular donor parts. There is a kit you can buy that is based on using the 4.3 Chevy as the engine.
I personally have always wanted to build one based around the aluminum Buick 215 V8 or something similar. Another I would like to do is build one around the Toyota 4AGE Blacktop motor.
