I've seen them with V8s put in. There was one in the So. Cal. Autotrader a couple months ago.
He was asking $20K, so I suspect it is still for sale.
I'm with you - I'd have no problem sticking a different engine in a 944. Most of them are one fender-bender away from the scrap heap, anyways.
Maybe try a late model, fuel injected engine out of a Corvette or Firebird? Those are probably very cheap. Maybe something with aluminium heads to try to keep the weight down a bit?
There's probably other, more esoteric engines that could be swapped in, but for cheap fun, it would be hard to beat the displacement of a groundpounding domestic V8.
