I think the insane turbo 4-cyl idea is a better one. Minimal weight, can be spun to 9,000-plus, and the 2.3 is a proven player.

300 peak hp would be easy, and fuel economy with a 4 isn't a question. An adjustable wastegate turbo with an intercooler would offer killer performance on demand.

Why bolt in a V-8 without maximizing the cubic inches? For the street, it's the best option. If you're going to pay the weight penalty a V-8 brings, it might as well bring an assload of cubic inches to the party...
