How much HP is your colorful engine putting out? If I had that car, I'd yank that and put in a 500-600 HP SBC.
Vrrroooom!

About 325rwhp at 2900lbs. Mid 13 second quarter miles- naturally aspirated.
And you're not going to get a 7000rpm American V-8 that'll actually last for any kind of reasonable money, let alone one that sounds like this. Video:
The initial acceleration in that vid is a 5mph to 70mph run in an elapsed video counter time of under six seconds. Now put that motor in a 2500lb 911. Then supercharge it.....vrroooooom.
4.7 liter 'alusil' OHC fuel injected V-8. Note factory stock main/head studs and full main girdle.
PS, i bought my 928 for less than the price of a bone stock LS-1 crate motor(and have been driving it for 4 years and 31k miles so far).
You're damned right there's no substitute!!!
