Saleen use Ford V8's without any overt Ford backing.
Obviously, LAA would like to retain GM backing, but a competitive car in a viable class is priority number on.

First off, the question was; "Can P&M/Katech (?) supply GT1 engines regardless of factory support, as a privateer business?"
Both of these are under contractual obligation to GM. They (Katech) produce the product(s) that are in question, for GM.
As to whether or not anyone can produce the engine(s) in question, I may be wrong, but, the rule is for homologated engines. A homologated engine, is specific to the engine that is homologated with the car, is it not? With that being the case then no one but GM can authorize the use of the engine. Which seems to be the case with the AM lump also.
L.P.
