I would research the Ferrari engine. The service on them is not for the faint of heart and it will make you think the 20B is cheap. The 355's required the engine (V8) removed to change the belts, and they have to be done less than every 30,000. I was reading a thread on one of the board where a Ferrari owner took is F40 in to be serviced and the belts (i am not talking power steering and A/C belts) were improperly installed. The motor was ruined and it only cost him $75,000. Good deal huh? I would build a great single turbo 13b and enjoy it. Good luck.
