Lola-MG

One for the engineers...

It's pretty clear that the MG-Lola EX257 (or Lola-MG B01/60, in customer guise) is extremely quick but hobbled by unreliability. I've heard it said more than once that one of the problems is the enormous load being placed on a small, four-cylinder engine; so here's the thing. Would it be possible (and/or desirable) for a customer to run a Lola B01/60 with a larger, normally-aspirated six-cylinder powerplant?
