A second vote for
A) yes
B) yes
C) I have seen: 3.8 liter Buick Turbo V6s stuffed into an Amazon.
Breathed on 175 hp B20's
Often thought about a Mazda twin turbo out of an RX8. Bring even more cash, and buy a proper custom Currie rear axle with Wilwood disc brake upgrade, etc.
or;
Option D: Abandon all hope of ever having your 40+ year old Amazon handle, brake,be as ergonomically friendly, accelerate, and have the low NVH numbers that a 2010 (insert name of manufacturer here) offers for $23,000.00 including warranty.
(NVH= noise, vibration, and harshness)
To sum up, I think I'd put in a rebuilt B18 or B20, and relax.
