Care to explain why you have chosen to limit engine choices to 1 of those 2 listed above? If you are making it all from scratch and plan to use as little steel and as much fiberglass, you could probably make a lean-burn 1.5 Honda fit and still be fun to drive. Or even a mid-sized motorcycle engine 750-900cc could work. It doesn't have to be stupid fast to be fun, especially if you plan on doing more turning than going straight when flipping the "fun switch".
