Maybe in another country but not in the US. People here are too picky and everybody wants a different engine. A lot of people would want diesels. This guy wants a Chevy V6. Others would want a big V8.
Development and testing as well as tool setup for this would be so expensive that you would have to have a huge volume to make it cheap which is not going to happen when everybody wants a different engine. Otherwise it would run you 4,000-7,000 per kit to sell and then the person would still need to really know what they where doing to pull it off.
I have a friend that does this for Series trucks and he's looking at doing some Disco/RRC conversions also and his kits start at $4,500 and go up from there and he mostly just breaks even on his sales because he likes doing it.
