Looks fairly clean with nice detail.

However.... this statement gives me pause:
"....I chose a Targa body because of the extra unibody rigidty provided to help ....." This after removing the rear engine crossmember.

if the owner relied on a Targa chassis to provide the needed rigidity to house an 8 liter engine, he's merely hoping and wishing or expecting the new owner to do so.

Would make a nice cruiser and conversation piece. Anything more (like driving it at speed) and it could be dangerous. The weight distribution will change from 60-40 to at least 63-37 f/r.

BTW, the Caddy V8 weighs 595 lbs. by itself (w/o trans) + cooling system
3.2 l 911 is about 410; turbo about 510.

MHO,
