When it comes to motor swaps, there is always one I wanted to try...the last version of the 944/998 motor. Honkin' good power, and the coolest thing was the oiling config would allow one to lay the motor on it's side (up to 45 deg.) safely. I wanted to design one of the LMP675 chassis around that - low rear deck height, still enough room for efficient tunnels, low cg...
