Not a totally unique idea, just plain ol' American hot rodding. There was a similar example in a multi page pictorial article in a mainstream magazine (name escapes me) that had little aluminum Olds V8 in a similar conversion effort. I think the car was from around Oakland CA in or about 1961. Also in the very early 60's shoehorning a 327 intop an Austin Healy 3000 made a nice Auto X car. They were called Healy Vettes. The main downfall of it was the lack of a regular frame, unibody got tweeked by all the torque.
