"I in no way mean to insult your intelligence or education, but you should get your own $800 carburetor and $400 belt driven fuel pump from Barry Grant to fit some junkyard small block Chevy, spend a few nights bending some stainless hard line, get six feet of Teflon lined hose, a polyethylene fuel cell, and about six 55 gallon drums of methanol. Set it up how you wish. Leave the exhaust heat on the intake. Don't run headers. Keep a blanket to cover the radiator. Throw away the fan. Whatever you wish, but before it's over (in the unlikely event you haven't burned SIXTEEN drums of methanol at the current price of $2.00/gallon and it's still not tuned), drive it every day to work and the store and pick up the kids for ONE week. Keep track of your oil, and when it gets so milky you can't see the ADD mark, change it." Don't have the time to indulge in frivolous stuff like that any more. If I were to do it, I certainly wouldn't use a fuel-injected engine, and I'd take steps to maximize heat in the intake manifold, and possibly some kind of fuel preheater. I'd probably start with an engine like the old Plymouth Barracuda slant 6 with the LONG intake lines from the carb to the engine intake ports, again to maximize heat transfer to the incoming fuel.
