Replicas assembled on purpose-built chassis are (in most states) considered to be a 'new' one of whatever is being replicated and have to conform with the smog laws for whatever year the car being replicated is.
Homebuilt/kit cars can vary wildly. Some states consider them to be exempt, others say year of construction is what matters.
Going fast on little cash is pretty much the domain of two wheels. My 919 cost less than $2K and it runs 0-60 in 2.8, etc., etc.
As for the economics of the situation, this from my local Craigslist.
Sell V6 for $25000: http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/2536666165.html
Buy V8 for proceeds of V6 plus $1K: http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/2517943680.html
Tell me again how you're financially going to beat selling the V6 and buying a V8?
