The problem with that route is getting the car to Beckmann. They have to do tests in there building with the car on and started.

Yeah, the thing with Beckmann's idea is capturing the data between the SAM and ECU from the clutch signal(s). The ECU itself wont be needed or matter. Just the data going to it.

The immobilizer is everything, unless you can manipulate it then you can't get a factory setup. There will always be something missing. The V8 ECU is needed for the drivers to the injectors, coils and mapping etc..
