Anyone think about a vq engine? They can be had for very cheap, make good power, and are dead nuts reliable...I've seen many high mile ones out there. Nissan put them in many of their cars, as did Infiniti.

I wonder all these torque from V8 will twist body and stress too much rear suspension and gearbox?

The 3.7L duratec would be great I think. I could be interested in that conversion if something really bad ever happens to my stock motor. I don't think the performance increase would be enough to be worth the hassle. A supercharger would have my stocker cranking harder than the 3.7. I've had rental mustangs with that motor and found it quite good. Would be all the better in the lighter, lower-geared porsche.
The 3.0 is an entirely different motor from the 3.7 and 3.5 I think. The best 3.0 Duratec is the one found in the Jag S type I think. Much better flowing heads, more power. Would still be a step backward from the 968 motor. Jag heads may be a good mod for the fusion
An S2000 motor might be great in a light weight 924 conversion. Very durable, high-tech and revvy. I like them.

Boosting this from the past.
Regarding the OP idea of a Honda V6:
Don't most Honda motors rotate the opposite direction?
Could be embarrassing...

But isn't it different if you're in the Northern Hemisphere.... ;-)

Thanks Rogue, good to know. I used to have a Fiat 850 which is a reverse - rotation motor (interesting technical reason as to why) so was always looking at Honda motors in wrecking yards...
