    A more realistic option would be the Yamahammer Taurus SHO V6. Bolts up to a ranger transmission for RWD application and capable of 8500RPM stock. Ford only limited the revs to 7200RPM because their accessories couldn't survive at higher RPM. 400lb/180kg stock but around 350lb/160kg in stripped down race trim.

        How tight would that throttle body be up against the firewall?

          I think you can flip the manifolds around.

            Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

              Call me crazy but i've thought about the fa20 "engine from the subaru brz" its flat but a 2.0 that revs up to the moon and LOVES to make power... I wish i had the funds to make it happen

                SHO V6 would be a very cool swap.

                I'm very partial to a 13b renesis swap on the e30. That would be very cool too.
