I did some homework on the LS stuff last night. I think you could manage it for £10-12k or thereabouts and you would have a seriously mighty whip there. It makes a lot of sense, and there is the added bonus of sending the purists into palpitations. It also think it could be a pretty strong car on the second hand market, as there are plenty of standard cars out there to satisfy that need, but there isn't anything that sits between a C2 and a Turbo at the moment. I'd pay £20-25k all day long for a C2 with a 520hp V8 in it. The same money spent with Hartech on a 3.7 upgrade/rebuild would only net you in the region of 350hp.
(That's not to say a Hartech rebuild isn't worth it, they are the acknowledged experts in this field and I wouldn't consider a rebuild by anyone else. It's just that Ned is talking about doing a one-off that's a bit more left field)
