I agree, if it were me I would just find a 6.2, 5.7 or benz diesel with a matched FWD or RWD setup and matched MT and be done with it.

You couldn't drag race but if you are going for fuel economy why would you?

If he wants this to be a hybrid he will need FWD and not have a choice, otherwise you have the blasted inline motor problem.
