What is interesting to me here is that you seem to have brushed aside much of these engines' history and are going with newer tech than has been used on them in the past and yet are using a lot of off the shelf parts that are common. Actually much like what was done early on but with parts that weren't around yet. And like the early days there is a lot of innovative machine work.
