Yes but you have to be careful of the final price. A crate engine from Ford (new small block V8 with high tune) with type approval is going to be a fair bit cheaper than all of these beautiful McLaren and Cosworth engines.
As we have seen with the Supersports and Coupe going above the £100k mark this makes the car a very different sales proposition. At 80k you are going to forgive some "tweaks" but if you added 15k for the engine alone it makes the competitor landscape and customer requirement a different kettle of fish.
I would love a long nose Aeromax with one of the AMG V12 65 engines as this sound would be ultra retro/smooth/GT in the manner of some of those Retromobile cars and the Bentley Blue Train. Never going to happen (unless a certain wonderful swiss gents has a good year perhaps) but what a car that would be.
