Had an electric OD and used it on the long back straight-away at Riverside Raceway. Drove right past a 302 Stang he couldn't believe it and came to my pit and I simply showed him the spark plug wires, he muttered a few words and walked away.
Depends on how competitive you want to be and what your goal is. If you go with a moderate engine you could be racing close to $100K depending on how much work you do yourself. If you want another grenade, then the cost will be north of $100K.

Take a look at my build photos and build discussion, Superformance Riverside Racer and you can get an idea. Since you have raced, you have an idea. I would suggest that if you go that route, you do as I did and add some more protection as that single hoop and forward brace is not enough to keep you safe. I have pictures of the modifications that I had made.

Good luck.

Jim
