I think we'd all agree The Shark demonstrates there is nothing 'cheap' or 'simple' about your taste! Did you ever get a dyno plot for that engine? I'd really like to see how the curve (not the numbers) looks compared to a dual 107 2.2 configuration. If cheap and simple are the driving factors then the decision really is about how much HP Joachim wants. More HP = more $$
If Joachim wants a 2.2 my suggestion is to source a complete 912/910 engine. 10-doweling a 907 isn't the expensive part, you've got to add line-honing/boring, alternate mains for the x-drilled 2.2 crank, etc. For a RHD car these modificatios to the 907 are much simpler than modifying the car for a 912/910 block.
The 10-doweling and line-boring isn't necessary for a 2.0 engine unless you just want a bullet-proof bottom-end and peace of mind. I've done the Chrysler main bearing conversion on a few 907 blocks which tends to run ~$1000US. DBE had at one time a jig to do the 10-doweling on a mill that they rented out. Finding a willing machinist is the real hard part!
