Subaru Engine Swap :-o

Don't kill me... and I know there was a short post on this before (Porscharu).

I'm trying to make a super lightweight 912 conversion - into a 911 RS/RSR inspired design. I'm 2 years into my project and have converted many body panels to carbon-fiber.
I recently rode a VW beetle with a Subaru engine and modified exhaust system. It was fast to say the least.
The Subaru engine is a Boxster layout, and shares the Porsche coupling plate.

And now to my question...
What is the best option for my fast street car?

a) Modify my 912 engine even more (I have shasta pistons, Bursche sytem - now 120bhp)
b) Install a (heavier) SC engine : 205 bhp
c) Install a modified Subaru engine (light, boxster - 250 bhp)

My car was not in original condition when I bought it, so 'pure' or 'original' is not an issue. The issue is 'FUN' for your $$$'s....
