Same with the intake manifold and other accessories such as AC. Want a lightweight or Fluidyne damper then it is available. Having done a swap, and having done one-off parts, the more that is available the better. If Blueprint takes care of everything then cool.

It's about the same as a K series.
I really don't see this as being practical in a car for reasons you already stated. Vibration is going to be a key one. Maybe circle track guys could tolerate it, or builds that vibration isn't going to matter. I could see rock crawlers being all over this thing, I would have loved to have this as an option over the OM617 I went with in my Toyota. I think the 300/500 numbers they are talking is just without having to upgrade internals.
