Anything to do with the manufacturer of Kohler generators?
Not generators..

HINT: What do you need when you swap the engine?
A hoist? Hence a manufacturer whose core business is hoists.

Two points awaiting!

Hints time:

Hint#1 - try to google a specific product "engine a*****r kit" to find out the company in question.
Hint#2 - the name of this car is not original. It was used in a model name of a concept car for an iconic sportscar.

Are we talking about Acme Adapters, a manufacturer of engine adapter kits?

...a bit vague but let's try...something very well known like Mythos?

Not Mythos.

Try to figure out an iconic sportscar and then to take a look at it's concept versions of the past.

Hooraay!! You've just scored second point!  :applause: :applause: :applause: :popcorn: :thumbsup:

This MAKO appeared in the advertisement of Kennedy adapter kits. Even if the numberplate better read as "NAKO", I tend to believe that MAKO is what is actually written. An unmodified photo is coming later...
