How much fun would this be?
 

All I need to do is find an elise with a blown engine for cheap...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
A new engine hand build in our engine build facility at Northampton (UK) or Torrance (USA) by the same engine builders that build our Formula 1 and other racing engines. It is a full engine incorporating a barrel throttle intake system, Cosworth valve train, Cosworth pistons, con rods, extrude honed ported head and an auxiliary drive including alternator. Loom, ECU, Flywheel, dry sump and clutch are some of the options that are available for this. Please check out our detailed options list as we can customise the build to your installation needs. Power curve and full specification sheet available on request.

Seems like an aftermarket turbo or supercharger would get you the same performance for a lot less than $13,000

Did they have to call it "Duratec"?
