speaking of engines into small cars, i had an idea of retrofitting the 250HP V6 outboard sitting in the storeroom to the Tafe Daihatsu Charade
 wonder how that would go? haha

Would be a lead tipped arrow, LS donks do the job much better being all alloy.

On the money, for anything other than a drag car (where you dont have turn corners) why use a heavy i6 when an alloy block 4cyl jap engine makes ample power and keeps weight distro close to 50/50.

If i was ever going to do any of these projects, the first engine which would come to my mind is a 13BT. Nothing beats rotary power.
There light, high revving and can make a lot of power.

Cause I think you are both on crack.

Cause I think you are both on crack. Considering the Turbo 6 is lighter & a long way ahead of a std 351 in power output to start with, it would look like the smarter money is with the Turbo 6. BUT...... What about the size of the engine bay? How well does each engine fit? This is consideration for both drag racing & circuit/street. If you were wanting say a corty to remain street legal, i would be thinking there is more chance of that with a Turbo6, considering corty's did sell with the 4.1 6cyl back in the day.
