Devil Developments are at the pinnacle of ZT engines, they'd be my first port of call.

As to which car, it really doesn't matter, even base spec, just as long as it's solid.

Ye I agree with the above, just make sure the donor has a solid shell, that's the most important thing by far, then just go with whatever one you prefer, its your choice at the end of the day, and they are all cracking little cars.
