As a fan of many car makes and not to ruffle the purist feathers....in the name of proven performance and costs why not a LS1, LS2, LS3 or LS6 GM V8? Are the dimensions much different (I'm guessing the deck height will be taller) than Porsche or Audi V-8's? Tranny fitmant would probably be an issue, not to mention torque capacity of it. Just asking.......
