Hitmans car is rather famous in the First gen world
Well, you don't want to know the price I guess...
You'd need the following parts: 3 rotors, 3 rotorhousings, one intermediate housing and the two endplates. There's then the 2nd intermediate housing and the E-shaft, that must be custom made. I haven't got first hand info on this, but prices like $2000-3000 are what I heared about, I think there's the e-mail adress of the builder (precision engineering) somewhere on hitmans site.
Now, with 1.5 seal kits, you can slam your new three rotor together... And make custom exhaust manifod, custom intake, fuel injection, aftermarket-ECU,...
I think getting a 20B and aftermarket ECU might be cheaper, and at least easier to calculate.

I paid $2800US for my 20B Twin Turbo... that's including shipping.

Kind of makes all that effort seem... eccentric.

Yep, that's what I meant. It'll be more expensive to build a custom three rotor then to buy a 20B long block.
You'll need aftermarket ECU on both, so that all doesn't make a difference.

Yep, that could be pretty close. Nothing is stock about that car. But it looks so great...
