I believe this has been done before (twice iirc and as far as i know). One german guy with a m3 shell, and two americans did one with a 325 chassis. Will try and find some links.

american one, i believe it links back to the german original one somewhere in the thread, beware its huge thread
s54 blocks are v expensive! and all the other componentry would prolly dwarf tht price aswell!
