the 3.0 straight six or the 3.0 v8 one?

the six would be a lot of effort for the power you'd get, it's the same amount of work/money as a 3.5, but only makes about 200bhp and adds weight.

no idea if the v8 would go in, but i guess you'd struggle to find a manual box for it.

the v8 would fit but as toby says, finding a box to fit may become the difficulty
