My comments:

1) 2L 16V - no clearance issues - yay!
2) 2L 8V - assuming you mean ABA "tall" block - less
desirable unless you plan not to use the essential
upper strut bar (others will disagree here). Other
than the clearance issue a good option with a CIS
head.
3)Oettinger = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
4) G60 - it's been done, it's fun, and make sure you
have a big bank account when the supercharger needs
repair . . .
