My late wife drove an Infinity G35 Coupe with a 3.5 liter V6. The motor was available in a 280 or 298 hp recipe. Don't fiddle around with something that's hard to find. Get this whole G35 platform and build a rod around it. I never drove a car with better transient response. You could yank it from one lane to the other and it never leaned. Front motor, rear drive, just like a REAL hot rod.
