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

I'll be a dousche and say it doesn't matter, it will never run, just cause I can 
<3 you matt, no homo
...but, to stay on topic, ls based would be neat, as would an f20c, or maybe a ca18det? Worlds of motors comes to mind for that chassis, seeing as I wouldn't mind owning one, but I would stay volvo, have fun with that, then throw something else in.

I think i'm staying Volvo for now. I have 3 turbo blocks on my porch that can handle over 800whp, so why not?

I voted Triton V10, more specifically a 3v. Apparently a 2005+ engine. Just checked to make sure, and fortunately they still make it.
