You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

yes... nearly every V8 will be Low Compression and non stiff blocks. ie all from the 101" Gun Tractors (Land Rover 101's) ie all before
about 1976.
Not exactly what you want in a high revving sportscar.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

who needs revs when you have torque? 
power IMO is overrated.
comp. ratio can be upped by swapping pistons and I think they will be 3.5 blocks so no slipped liner issues.
