Be different, put a diesel in. Gordon Brown will love you forever, for saving the planet.
I'd use a twin turbo Rover V8. Planet's quite capable of looking after itself

Ahhm...
There are normally 3 (occasionally 4) classes that suit 'our' cars, assuming it's still going to be road legal.
"Specialist production road modified":-
Up to 1700cc - normally excludes bike
engines - but not always.
Over 1700cc > to anything you like..
Occasionally a sub class just for bike engined cars.
And Sports Libre.
(where the bike engined cars normally end up.)
So if you're thinking of going for a bike engine, check what classes are run locally to you before making your mind up.
For example if Bike engines end up in sport libre only then you'll end up against Radicals and the like instead of the
'locaterfields' (as we're known!) this isn't a problem and you'll still have a great day out - just not competitivly.
If the up to 1700 class allows bike engines you're laughing.
If it doesn't:-
I would personally recommend sticking to the 'up to 1700' class either way as the over 1700 lads have lots and lots of power and the
smaller engines are plenty quick enough, engine choice seems to be:-
1.6 Rover K series
1.7 Ford Sigma(?) (the baby zetec out of a Puma)
1.6 Ford Duratec
Toyota 4a-ge (16 or 20v)
They're the simple, easy to install and known to be competitive ones that come to mind.

I can't help myself... so sorry, but it made me smile. One for Hellfire per chance?
Clicky link
On a more serious note - I would go with the CEC suggestion. Get to grips with the performance, tweak that a bit and then see how you feel when you
are always blown away by the BECs on your track days.
Sorry - getting my coat...
