Sorry but you are missing the point here 
cant you just get one of those F1 engines and detune it so that you can start it without having to heat up the engine first?
(and have i last a few seasons)Heck, all we need is about half the power, and we would be happy!

The few people that I have talked to that used to work in the CART engine program told me all the engines are leased by the teams. Honda got all of them back at the end of the season.
Unless it's a fairly old engine I'd doubt you'd be able to source one. Even then, they had fairly short racing lifespans, and you'd have fun sourcing replacement parts.
