the W16 from a Bugatti Veyron would fit if you had enough ££££££s and knowledge.
Most 4 cylinder engines would fit in, some would be easier than others

Sure I've seen a picture of a diesel engine in a VX220. Criminal though. You can quote bhp and torque figures all day long to me about diesel engine but they just don't drive the same. I also wouldnt want to turn my sportscar into a little yellow taxi.

Sweet motherf*cking jesus indeed.
Proof that Darwin's theory of natural selection is so not working how he planned.

I've always been intrigued by the idea of a well tuned C20XE (Red Top).

I wonder how an FQ engine would fare.
Also not sure a 2ZZ-GE is lighter than a Z22SE

Honda lumps seem to be a good option. A friend has a throttle bodied B16A2 lump in his Elise. Very well suited to the car, not to mention it sounds awesome 
Will get some photos if you want.
