There are kit car forums out on the internet. You should look there to get some ideas. I'd also call Becks, or do a google search under "550 spyder." A couple New Years ago, there was a guy on the TRE New Years run with a 3.6-engined kit car which was hella' fast, though I think the car can accomodate a wide variety of motors.

Barris, the guy who built the Batmobile, has a 550 Spyder, in which he put a 2.7 and 915 gearbox. The car is smokin' fast since it weighs only about 1,300 pounds.

I would actually think most kit cars that can fit a VW motor could also suffice for a 911 motor. Out in Malibu, there's a retailer who specializes in building 550 offshoots, and now and then opts to put 911 running gear instead of VW parts in the same chassis with the same body style of car.
