The main issue with this project path and keeping it a Nissan V8 is space.
As you can see the engine will poke through the hood a little probably, he has removed a lot from the engine bay which is fine if this is a dedicated track car, but keeping certain comforts might make it difficult to fit it all in. I think this would be a fun project, but be prepared for a lot of one off parts and long days of problem and problem.
