Porsche Crest 1973 Targa - I need an engine - ideas

I wanted to get some advice on an engine and transmission. I have a 1973 Porsche 911 Targa that I am doing a full restoration on. I am not planning to bring the car back to stock. I want to make tasteful upgrades to the car.

Current status, the car is broken down to chassis and is at the snadblaster getting cleaned and rust removed. Once I get it back I will get onto body work.

I am keeping the original steering, suspension and brakes. All is getting broken down, cleaned, new bushing, etc and rebuilt.

Then is comes to the engine. What do I put in this car. I have gone through so many ideas, 70's engine, period correct, Electric, 993 engine and some other crazy idea's that I won't mention.

I am leaning towards a 993 engine, the last of the air cooled. I am not afraid of a total engine rebuild.

Let me know your thoughts or ideas
