I think I will stick to the Alfa Romeo Flat 4, about the same weight as a beetle engine with 118hp as standard! My design is all about handling, I am building a custom monocoque chassis with pushrod suspension(photo's an site soon), I do not want to upset the balance by fitting a 440 Ib beast to my chassis, although I am still considering a 24v 190hp Alfa V6 engine, all ally, same wieght as a bettle engine.
