Check out the Rimmer Bros. site in the UK. There you can get a brand new V8 that produces 260 HP in normally aspirated form and weighs 318 lbs. Or, if that doesn't turn you on, build a 4.3 Votec using the GM Bow Tie aluminum block. $$$$, yes, but a nice solid engine with dozens of mods available to produce any HP you desire, normally aspirated or forced induction, and at no weight gain.
