this sounds like renegade hybrids! i looked at their web page a while ago, and they can supply all the parts you need, if you intend to do the change yourself. someone posted their 0-60, and 1/4 mile times, with a 5.7 chevy engine, and i think it was 4.35 secs for 60, and 13.2 for the 1/4, with a standard engine, no mods.
i'm not sure, but i get the impression, that cooling the beast is a massive problem, but it sounds like a great project. v8 torque, ultra smooth engine, and tons of power! what a sleeper!!
