That would be a very large undertaking to say the least. Maybe use the low-budget Mexicans to move the engine instead?? If you do want to make an internal keel out of an external one, that is going to be a lot more than one layer of glass and it will need to run up the hull sides quite a bit. You would more or less be adding a whole new bottom onto the boat.

Here in mexico where labor is cheap and craftsmanship is good. I'm wondering about fully encapsulating my keel. The thought behind this would be to eliminate the worry of my keel bolts. I can see (access) a total of 2. There is one under the mast and who knows how many below the engine down about 3 feet. Just a thought as I don't show any signs of a loose keel yet.
