Any help will be greatly appreciated.

So far I've had this done to it:
6pc V-Style Body Kit (front & rear aprn, skirts, front fenders)
FBSS Air Bag Suspension
Custom Interior
Pearl Underflake w/ Burgondy Overlay
Rockford Fosgate Custom Fiberglass System
Custom Hood (opens outward from middle)
Drop forward front clip (like the big rigs)
18" Ferretti Chrome Racing Rims / Tires
Custom Top (converted to a roadster NO TOP!)
Now I am looking to put a motor in this bad boy that will rip up the roads and make the tires smokeeeeeeee. Currently it has the stock I4 Cougar Engine. It's a FWD automatic. I am wanting to convert to a manual and drop a better engine in it.
What kind of motors would you recommend that would fit into the Cougar and give me the power to burn up the streets? It has to be compatable with the FWD and able to do the conversion to manual. Any help would be GREAT!

Good Luck!!!!!
1. Which version of the VR6 should I look to get?
2. What are all the components I need to go along with it?
(such as motor mounts, transmission, etc)
3. I am assuming I will have to change out the suspension to accomodate the weight of the new motor, so should I go with the stock springs from a vehicle that had the VR6? or will I have to get new lowering springs designed for a vehicle that had VR6 to maintain the current ride height and look of the vehicle?
4. Which is better for this motor: Turbo-charging, or super-charging? what are the pros/cons and approx. pricing.
5. The car currently has drum brakes in the back .. anyone know of a disc-brake conversion??
6. And lastly, would you recommend doing a clutch and header upgrade to this?
Any other recommendations or suggestions are appreciated as I will be taking my time to do this right. Thanks!
The Talon starts life as a transverse FWD 4-cyl. Those other 2 are RWD straight-6s. Its just not going to happen without MAJOR reconstruction.
Why not just track down a TSi engine?
