Your biggest issue is that the rotating assembly weighs a ton in those engines. Rpm makes horsepower and you just cant spin those engines. I guess if you have a bottomless pit of a bank account you could have a crank,rods and pistons made but it will accomplish nothing other than to claim you did something different. It seems people get so caught up in the quest to be different that they lose track of being sensible especially when it comes to money spent vs gains made. The 305 and 351 v6 was never intended to be anything but a work horse running at near constant rpm.
