Sounds like a well thought out conversion. The addition of non-standard parts and forced induction might make sourcing parts and maintaining it more difficult than usual, but shouldn't be too bad. Chassis-wise it already has most of the bits that you might later be tempted to bolt on, which is good as a track car.

yes

Looks like a great base for a track project.

The cynic in me, however, is suspicious of aftermarket engine tuning that might well last well on a magazine road test, a dyno session, or for daily road use limited to the occasional full throttle "whoosh", yet might struggle with overheating over periods of high temperature track usage.
