I own a 914v8 race car. Now and then I look at the cars for sale, to see what's going on... following a sale thread to several Youtube vids I found this man's work in progress, a ground up 917 re-creation, with 2 subaru H6 motors connected at the crank to make an H12. There are many insane projects out there - this one is at whole 'nother level.

Interesting comments. In a way I agree that the thing has a lot of hurdles before we see it anywhere on a track. That's probably why we haven't seen a follow up video either. However, you have to hand it to the guy, at least he is trying something most people just talk about. So what if it has subby power, and corvette gear on it? How many Ferrari Dinos are out there running around on vette frames, and they too are referred to as replicas.
As far as race quality builds go, have you ever studied an old (like 1980's) Formula Vee up close? I have, and I've raced them, and I can tell you some of them are held together with less than this car! Besides, maybe those cooling lines are trick white covers over nice metal lines.
