You may need to strengthen the area where the rear suspension trailing arms attach to the body.

Can you see 2000 hp going through that spindly yellow sill frame? I see a pretzel.

With 2,000hp you don't need a transmission, nor brakes, nor steering wheel. Just wings, tail rudder, flaps, and a three way control stick.

You will also need a Deity to be your co-pilot.

<font size="2"><font face="Comic Sans MS">2,000HP you say?
Well I won't say it's impossible, because with determination and cubic dollars just about anything is possible!
But I doubt whether the end result would be able to justify the effort and cost involved.
you may well be able to stuff such a monster engine into a TR-7, but such a car's longevity and drive-ability are still open to question.
However it all comes down to the reason why you want to do it.
If your reason is: "Because I can."
I'd watch the project with interest and say: "Fair enough." [:D]

If your reason is: "Because I like a challenge."
I'd applaud you and say: "You've found yourself one." [:D]

But if your reason is: "Because you can pick up the stuff cheap and just put it together for next to nothing in either cost or effort."
I'd say: <i>(in the immortal words of Roy Slaven & H.G Nelson) </i>"You need to drop your trousers, bend over and take a good look at yourself!" [:D]
