It's one of those boyhood images that has stuck with me for years, so if for no other reason that's why I'm interested in doing it now.

If you want to sell any of the old parts, I'd be more than interested! I'm more interested in the Crown kits than the Kelmark, if you have any conversion pieces from them
I'll look for the parts, that won't be a quick thing but I assume your not in a rush? Totally hear you on boyhood image and the mid mount, I'll not try and talk you out of it, but, have you looked at many up close, have you driven in them? For a full blown beast of a toy it is bad ass! It's also crazy- that engine is in the back seat!!

I have a few pics, specs and basic planning of the LSX in the back I'll forward you that info and contact info of people who have done it. Just think about it....
