It may still happen.
It's just going to require some custom head fabrication to allow for SFI, in-cylinder cooling, and greater cylinder intake and exhaust capacities.
That may happen anyway on the MK II prototype, because its going to need it for higher compression, higher boost pressure, and marginally larger displacement.
I may try it on the MK I. May.... Its going to have an underbody radiator and coolant well for 3-4 gallons of coolant and surface area of at least 10 square feet as well as two large oil wells and oil coolers for about 10 quarts. It's also going to have water injection to cool the boost using one 330cc/min per fuel rail, so amping up the amount of fluid to cool the engine will be easy.
So I may restart the frankenstein project... but I may not. the J32-35A2 will be substantially more expensive than any of the parts in my D15Y. beefed up pistons and rods for one are more expensive and way more valves is another issue. so I may do it. But I don't really need to... my estimated range so far is 1K miles with a 30 gallon tank....
