If light is the name of the game have a look at a VW. I have one I used from my off road racer. 200+ hp and tons of torque. I was told 300 ft lbs. It is very light and compact. 2670cc, porshe heads, billet crank, dry sump, MOTEC fuel injected.
The Toyota 3sgte is an excellent engine also. Has piston squirters, yamaha head, very strong. I got rid of stock restrictive exhaust manifold and put on a garret gt bb turbo. Very strong bottom end. I put in forged pistons just to handle any detonation issues. Head and cams stock. Run 16 lbs of boost all day long. TRD said do nothing other than what I did internal and can easily get 450 to 500 hp. I went for a smaller turbo to get on the boost quicker. It would come on boost loading it on the trailer.
