Well, I ordered the VG 30 yesterday, so I'll have something to play with by this weekend. First thing is to figure out if the 40 sleeve will fit in that block or if I'll need to make a cylinder to weld to it. Then it's on to fitting the piston to the rod. THEN, on to the valve train/supercharger valve.

THEN, the hard part - the cylinder head.

The way the prototype is designed, I can easily switch between normally aspirated and supercharged. That way it'll be easy to tell if it is worth doing.
