Big problem....small demand for all that HP.....

Another problem......a 230HP (easily tweaked for more) 3.3L Subaru SVX, can
be bought for $1700-$2500.  Equivalent Porsche motor will cost 3 to 5 times
that.  You can likely have Smallcar.com do the whole conversion with the
3.3L for just the cost of buying the Porsche engine.
