I'd go the TT route, and if you are going to rebuild the engine I'd have custom pistons made up w/ a lower c/r as well as lightened some in an effort to get the car even more rev happy.

C36 is cool, but again a bit tough to find along w/ all it's necc. bits.

dropping in an M119 would be Sweet, but you'll be modifying quite a bit to make it fit etc, etc..plus you'll lose the the balence/weight distribution of the current set up.
