So I've kind of settled on the theme of the build to be a century or parts. 20s body, 40s engine, 60s space frame and just keep lookikng of bits to blend in.
Engine wise the thought that's been percolating is something like a modern V8 intake, runners wrapping around a center plenum but injectors to the inside. rough concept wise like this:

Then side mount the blower or use a small turbo or 2, have an intercooler maybe, all the modern convinces.
This is all going to come down to a packaging exercise mostly I guess. The body I'd like to use, mostly because its dirt cheap, has an engine bay like 29"w x 24"T then the radiator shell in front is maybe 20"w? The engine is about 18" wide so what little space there is goes quick. I need to assemble a pile of parts and the viable options will probably be more clear
