Only thing is, with more sophisticated engine, comes more electronics.....
You could dump the donors ecu and injection system as there probably wont fit under the bonnet of a seven. Instead fit a Mega jolt and bike carbs, even to the straight 6. Carbs can be respaced and extra carbs added to fit the application.
