Likewise I've recently brought a lexus LS400, turbocharged it and installed megasquirt. The whole process including buying the car,
turbocharging it and getting it tuned has cost me less than £2000. It's making 380whp at 7psi which I believe the engine will take until the end
of time.
Cheap and reliable power if you can fit it in something and mount a manual box to it.
Who doesn't like a turbo v8?

Audi 4.2 v8, long prop, Audi transaxle in the back. Y'know, because weight distribution 
Ok so you end up with a prop spinning at 7k RPM a few centimetres from your crown jewels, but that just adds to the... excitement?
Isn't this what they used on the Ferrari's, corvettes and some alfas and I think the Porsche 928 ? Not an unusual thing to do for a rear
transaxle.
I do like your thinking though, do you know of a where you can get a prop made and balanced and out of interest how does the flywheel/clutch work on
this arrangement?
The 944 924 too, heres my v8 hooked up to the 944 torque tube, there is a working clutch etc in there too
 
V8 to 944 TT 1

350lb ft at 2100rpm never gets old especially with only 850kg to drag round
