That I a cool looking car.  

What about trying to find a Bus or 914 4 cyl engine or a crashed 914 as a starting chassis?  Then you could upgrade tie rods to the 911 turbo tie rods and other performance bits.

A friend of mine has a Kellison sitting in his driveway here in S FL he'd sell really cheap. He drove it as a DD for many years then started rebuilding it. Then he decided to build a Factory Five GTM and the Kellison has been sitting untouched since. He knows he'll never finish the Kellison and wants it gone. Reverse rotation Corvair engine was already rebuilt (he owns a machine ship). Send me a PM or email me laboratoryfourteen@gmail.com if you want to see more pics or his contact info.

The turbocharged G10T "... was available in both the US and Canadian Firefly/Sprint/Forsa from 1987-88. Only the Canadian Firefly/Sprint had this option, with hydraulic lifters, in the 1989-1991 model years."

Per wikipedia, the 100HP G13B engine was available here in the states in SOME form but only in rebadged Cultus-es- though it seems like it's possible you could take a SOHC Samurai lower end and buy a DOHC top end from some other site and adapt them together, though the DOHC head is an interference design.

I'd be interested in swapping these from the VW engines- far better mileage and reliability it seems, and you likely won't need much of a radiator for them.

Good to see you're still on the project! We actually moved the Kellison at my buddies this past week to power wash the driveway and when we put it back it got a new cover, now it will sit...........
