Less sane swap: Sane swap plus a rear engine LS setup (similar to what guys do with Fieros). 200hp and 40+MPG most of the time, 600+hp AWD when you crank up the V8. Ultimate hustler-mobile at the drag strip.

Just do a RWD conversion and an LSx conversion to the Prius. The are are no transaxles that will work, for under $5k, at 600+ HP, but there is NO reason you can't have 30 MPG with 1000 RWHP, emissions legally. And with a proper suspension, you can hook it, plan on needing wheelie bars and needing new Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pros every month.
Or do it AWD, like a fake Syclone. Those boxy little S10s arent bad for mpg because they are so narrow, i got mine to 38 mpg.
