He wants the first one to be quite a beast, built in their shop, for someone with the money to pay for the beast. I have the car and the interest, but don't have the money to throw at it. If the kit existed at this point in time for a reasonable amount though, I'd be ordering a small block Chevy to reliably power my incredible handling roadster.
I'm talking right now to my old indy Porsche mechaninc for us to do a kit to put in something a little more along the lines of the original motor. I designed and CNC machined all the stuff to put the first Hinda engine in Formula Atlantic Swift DB4. It had to be worse than what I'm thinking about. I had to machine sections of useless crap off the sides of the engine block to not destroy the ground-effects tunnels of the chassis, and the starter operated with a twin u-jointed shaft from it's mount point on the FRONT of the engine! I no longer own the machine shop, but my ex-partner and I have remained close friends.
