Couple turbos and a twin screw would be nice up front. But people keep telling me it's not all about power for some reason. Gotta think about weight distribution and balance and all that, after all it's a Porsche. Three 20 lb nitrous bottles in the back would even things out.

Because they can.
Historically an automobile is defined by the chassis.
McLaren, Lola, Lotus (just to name a few) have carried many different engines over the years.
That doesn't change what they are.
One of the best modern day sports cars, the Lotus Elise, has an engine from a Toyota Corolla.

Apparently it's still a Porsche with a Corvette transaxle (which I have no problem with), so why not swap motors? My next 928 will have a boosted vh45 or if I go easy a boosted 5.3 or 6.0 Chevy. What makes a 928 special is the chassis and suspension...in other words how it feels and handles. That motor can't be that heavy so it should be awesome. BTW those motors scatter connecting rods if you boost them too hard be careful! I'm assuming you guys have seen Smokey Nagata's Top Secret twin turbo v12 supra right? Might get some ideas for plumbing. Also, I hate to bear bad news but they don't make that much low end torque or horsepower, but it will be incredibly good with some tuning and horsepressure. Awesome project!
