I think the biggest limiting factor in the 986 chassis is the length of the engine. The boxer 6 is pretty short. You basically have from the firewall to the transmission, which is about 24" or so?

I'd think maybe a Subaru 4 cylinder boxer... with a couple turbochargers on it? Might be able to get 250+hp out of it without too much difficulty.
