Is the rest of the car up to the task of the power you are proposing to put in the car?

Brakes?

Suspension?

Transmission?

Frame?

Cooling?

We don't need no stinkin' brakes!

Obviously we're talking about some pipe-dream scenario. Hence the "money, availability, workshop, etc not an issue"

BTW, wouldn't you have the same concerns with an LS motor, albeit not to the same extent?

Also, electric conversions have already been done:
