where on earth are you going to get any of those?

here is a SERIOUS hint about actual feasibility
(8th digit vin code P) -- that wont get you there but you can pm me for the meaning
all this is a dillusion of grandeur some would say.

better plan on selling to international folks with the kind of money this will end up being

For the final product, I don't plan on scavenging the parts. The body and the frame will be handmade.
You can purchase higher-than-factory displacement crate motors on several websites. I imagine that I'll grab one of these, and put it together myself.
Something like this, for example (after a very short google search): Link
This is just one that is pre-built. If you put together the motor yourself, you have a lot more you can do.

The Lenco transmission is also something that I would purchase.

With the IRS and IFS, I imagine I'll only need to buy one or two of the kits from Art Morrison, and then I can make my own design that is based on theirs.

When I made the initial post, all of the products mentioned were available online.

I intend these to be only in the highest performance model of the car. I will use other parts for the other models.
