Default Looking for help in two unique projects

I am looking for some one in the bay area (northern california) to help me in converting two planes to be airworthy for turbine operation. both are fiberglass/balsa/foam wings in a kit form.

The first one is one of my favorite: It is an F8 Crusader. The kit is very basic. F/G Fuse, glass sheeted foam wings, no retracts. My goal is to have it built light and strong for turbine operation but is does not have to be scale in the gear area to keep it simple. It was designed for a byron DF 91, so a 14+lbs turbine will be perfect. I think it is 90" long and about 56" WS.

the other one is a navy Intruder. Same story as the F8, but this one will be a challange. It is a twin engine design and the ducting is too short for a bifurcated pipe. So, either two micro turbines or two EDF!!!!!!! It is about 78" long and 70" WS

I will provide all the materials and I have a lot of ideas on what to do but I need some one to take a lead in seeing them to completion. I can have the two projects in my garage or the person's helping me garage!

This is for some one who want to do something unique for sure. They are in my storage now and I will get some pics soon.

I am open to constructive suggestions/opinions....
