Thanks for the info... it's a cool looking kit!
Regarding 'ripping the heart' out of an SVX, presumably he would source one from an auto wrecker, so the engine would already have been ripped out of an unusable car.
If so, then he is in fact preserving SVX heritage by keeping said motor functional (and in something really cool!).
Maybe he could comment on where he is planning to source his motor.
Note: not wishing to start a fight, just offering an alternative perspective.
