yea my uncles company makes prototype engines and drivetrains here in Detroit and he was telling me how they maid a ceramic engine that was bullet proof and didnt need any cooling system and also a plastic engine block with ceramic sleeves, he said it was a V8 a man could lift with his bare hands, it was crazy cool looking to with all the structural ribbing he said it looked like some alien technolody when it was done.
so yes anything is possable only thing is, cost.....great for one off's never know how it take for production.
