At best it will be seen as unique, IMO, like the Blastoline Special that Leno bought. Not trying to discourage you Ryan, but you really need to be sure of your market if you're going to plan on building these, turning them for profit and building another, and another, and another. It's one thing to build it because it's what you want, but entirely another to build to sell. There are limits to what the market will accept.
I don't know about lipstick on a pig. I can't argue with the looks of a hemi or a supercharger, but there are enough shiny parts on the 5.9's and they will look sweet too. There are even finned valve covers for them.
