Could 1940s factories reproduce the AVGP engine?

Detailed plans and contemporary substitutes are proposed as a way to reproduce the established engine design in the 1940s.

Question

Could 1940s industry manufacture the AVGP engine from detailed plans?

Short answer

Probably, with sufficiently detailed plans and workarounds for the electronics and timing systems.

Notes

The proposed transfer includes detailed blueprints, which would give 1940s manufacturers more than an example to inspect. The engine is described as an established design. Military preference for reliable machinery helps explain that age. Electronics and timing systems would still need workarounds, so the replica would not necessarily match the original perfectly.
