Might you be referring to the Porsche G50 transaxle? It's one of the mid-level power choices for our GT40 replicas. If you need more power handling capacity, the ZF transaxle is generally regarded as a bit stronger, and IMHO not that much more expensive (I've seen references to ZF transmissions being available starting at the upper price you noted for the G50). Now, if you really want a transaxle that might handle this type of horsepower, check out Ford's GT transaxle--Ford Motorsports sells them for around $14,500, but they are reported to be very strong.
As you can see, in this obsession we are usually limited by the transaxle rather than the engine.
