Look at the Toyota 2ZZ, 180hp, 8000rpm.3SGET, Beams 3SGE dual VVTi. Several honda engines, B18, B20, K20, K22, K24, 3.2liter V6(Accord, NSX), Nissan SR20, SR20DET, Mazda MZR (Speed 3,6, CX7). Mitsubishi 4G63. Blah blah blah. All the forementioned engines are trasverse mount, and quite capable of rediculous outputs. All have a vast aftermarket too.
