What engines would work in a scion frs?

I d like to make a nice fast street car for myself instead of just buying a pricey car off the bat.

i really like the look of the scion but iv e often heard it lacks a bit in the power department so i d like to overpower it.

i was thinking maybe a ford or chevrolet v6, or even a dodge v8. However it is a boxer engine i d be trying to fit it to.

any ideas besides just super/turbocharging it?

Two letters… LS

It's been done so you should be able to find information. Parts are common and they are reliable for the amount of power they produce.

By adding the additional weight of a larger V6 engine you would lose the cars balance and handing characteristics. It would be better to modify the existing engine.

You could do an LS swap, but it would make more sense to just buy a used corvette for cost reasons.
