Question Motorheads; Would You Buy?

Hi,all you ford guys out there.
I want to see how much interest there would be in a high end Ford small block engine that would produce 610HP and 485ft of torque on pump gas with No power adders, and would be very nice to drive on the street. No kidding! Preliminary tests show 485ft. of torque at 3000rpm and 610hp at 7000rpm with a redline at 7500rpm, on pump gas, with a mild cam. These would Not be mass produced crate engines, but would be built one at a time. Based off of a 302/351W with combinations of 331/347/357/383/393/408 cubic inches. The first tests were done with a 347. These would not be cheap engines either, because of the high quality coponents needed to run 7500rpm reliably. And the cost of the exotic cylinder head used. The heart of this engine is a new aluminum Hemispherical cumbustion chamber- 4 valve per cylinder head,That's right - a 4 valve Hemi head, that uses custom push rods and shaft mounted rockers to open the valves Without overhead camshafts. The spark plug is located in the center of the cumbustion chamber. The first engine used a competition prepped block, 4340 steel crank,4340 H-beam cap screw rods,forged custom pistons (10.0 to 1 comp.),fully balanced with an aluminum Fidanza flywheel, and SFI dampner, premium moly rings and bearings,a main stud girdle,windage tray,HV oil pump,Canton oil pan,Comp cams roller timing set,Extreme energy hyd roller cam and lifters,MSD dist and 6AL ignition,port matched Edelbrock Rpm air gap intake,and a Holley 750 carb. 347c.i. and 610HP. Now imagine an exotic, velocity stacked, fuel injected set up on that! Cost on the engine described above is around $15.000,Dyno tested and tuned,ready to run. Would enough people buy one at that cost to make me consider building these engines for the public? How about the guys with the GT40s?
