I would think the Audi motors may be a good candidate for a 6. I think Felix did one if I recall correctly.

Lots of go fast parts out there, all aluminum and weighs a mere 250lbs. Many of the beetle baja guys are converting to this engine because it weighs the same as a bug motor. |

GM has an entire catalog for upgrades, including the supercharged Cobalt version. |
