Question Cologne 2.9i V6 engine replacement.

Hello,
This is my first post, so be kind!

I have a custom car I built from scratch for track racing, it has an mt75 gearbox (RWD) but I need an engine. I had two v6 2.9i cologne engines tri turbo, (low boot twin, medium boost single) but two engines have died, I just don't think they are quite up to to 3 hour races.

I am in need of something else that will mate up to the mt75 RWD v6 edition ( a custom build) I can have adapter plates machined if necessary but I would like to keep the mt75 as I have a LOT of money put into it.

Maybe a 2.5 v6 from a mondeo or something along those lines or maybe something (bmw). I will be turbo charging it and shooting for about 300bhp-350bhp.

Thanks

What about a BOA/BOB cosworth? that's if you can find one that doesn't leak oil

I was looking for something a little more modern than the cologne and definitely fuel injected. Thanks for the offer though.
