For a technical excercise, with about 20k and vast experience behind you, it would be worth it. And very cool.
For someone with a 'typical' budget to build a high powered 12v corsa in their back garden, highly unlikely.

The 8v 4 cylinders were only made in Brazil, the majority of them over there are turbo'd and they aint slow either... :/

The 12v engines are very weak, so you're going to have problems.
