Well, it all depends on how fast you want to go and what the emission laws are down under. You can peripheral port it, and have a very powerful car with a very loud exhaust note. Or transplant a Turbo 2 engine and have similar power with less, much less noise.
Again, i think it all depends on emissions and noise pollution laws in Australia.

How fast do you want to spend?
Do you want quarter mile times?
Fast in the twisties?
Road race?
Autocross?
Depends on what you want out of your car.
