M275 Engine redesign and build custom car

Hi I have a spare m275 complete engine with turbos.

I have decided to build a 1 off car making my own spaceframe, hubs, suspension components and arms.

I am planing to mid mount the engine and use a Ferrari manual gear box. for a rear wheel drive setup

I was thinking of using a big block flywheel and clutch pack. I would only have to drill 1 hole in the fly wheel for fitting.

I understand I would need a custom bell housing.

I am open to any ideas on a manual transmission set up for a rear wheel drive set up?

On to the M275
I want to remove the coil packs and fit individual packs.
custom exhaust manifolds
Custom turbos
750cc Injectors
Remove water cooled intercoolers and run 2 x intercoolers mounted in the rear quarters with loads of venting.
Oil cooler
gearbox cooler
remove the vacuum box and all the vacuum lines and valves
2 x external wast-gates
Big radiator and twin electric fans.

Another thought would be water-less coolant.

I want to modify the front left camshaft plate by removing the EGR's and the thermostat housing so the exhaust gas do not go into it.

Also I am removing the alternator water coolant idea and welding a plate over the block and making a bracket to hold the new alternator that will help with cooiling. Also I will be removing the rear climate pump and maybe the A/C

Any Input and Ideas welcomed

Sounds like a cheap project.

I had the same thoughts using a carbon gt40 replica tub as the base.

My advice would be try and get as much info on the new Pagani as they have already done it.

That is a very nice base to start with.
Sadly not cheap but will be worth it.

might as well just get a stand alone engine management system, then everything will be easy

Yea I was thinking G4 extreme
I have used the G4 Storm on my drift car and was very happy with the ease of use.
