LS1. It is herd to beat the performance, weight (very light compared to other V8s), and low cost (lately the price has become very reasonable ).

m3 motor would be nice but its HEAVY AS HELL. Cast iron block weighs a million pounds! I was going to mention it but didnt because of weight... and the fact that it would cost an arm and leg... NSX v6 would be a virtual impossible or super ridiculously expensive mod due to the fact that its basically like turning fwd into rwd being a MR into FR
