all in all I think in theory this is posiable but it would cost a lot of money
you will need

bespoke
crank
rods
pistons + rings
cams

solid lifters
long studed
dry sump
tubular manifold
a new inlet
better valve springs
pluss some head work
gtx turbo

managment mapping

gearbox

and all the bering, seals and oil to build
