I thought about one of these engine too. However, I don't see them being very cost effect. Parts and parts are probably a nightmare to find.
On the plus side,, the engine is about 100lbs lighter than an LS(x)
I can't wait so see what you come up with! If it works (and it sounds like you've done your homework) you should make a conversion kit that you could market. I'm not sure the demand would be very high but I think you could easily make your initial investment back. I, for one, know I would be sending you a deposit right now if it was available. I too am of the same mindset about the sound coming from a SLC. The cross plane V8 rumble just doesn't work for me. I've been scouring the web for 360F1 wrecks for months now thinking that was the best (albeit a very expensive) option. You have my full and undivided attention
