I agree w Cripple Rooster, a v8 with cylinder bank deactivation. Thinking an cad northstar or something similar small displacement v8.
Another option would be a turbo 4cyl. Nissan sr20det is the first that comes to mind. Aluminum block, very durable, 200, hp and I 225 lbft tq(iirc) for the early ones and 250 hp for the later.
