The 5s are also common nowdays in rwd configurations, adapter plates for different gearboxes(bmw for example), turbo manfolds etc are all of the shelf parts ready for swapping.

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.

What kind of Toyota do you have an OM617 in?

Kind of defeats the whole purpose of making a block compatible with existing LS heads. They aren’t trying to make a one-off engine, so while it would be cool to bend the FA24, bore and stroke it, lop off a set of valves, and relocate the camshaft to the block, I don’t think they will be making a high displacement V4.
If they were going to make a high displacement V4, and if they were building it off existing heads, then there are only a few options, and those options would be the EJ, FA and Porsche 718 engines, and they would be heavily stroked. Probably not going to happen.

Motus MV4 did the 100 cube V4 and there's a few kicking around.
Wasn't too successful though. Spec sheet link About the same specs as an FA20.

EDIT: my bad...the Motus appears to have a divorced transmission, given that there are two sets of specs for dimensions...one with and one without transmission.
