well, you could fit any v6 really.
Camry´s v6 is good but i believe it´s an iron block, which is heavier...the alfa V6 is made of alluminum, which is lighter. I specially like this engine bacause I know it very well, it has great torque and it is very powerful.
Another option is using an audi V6, mounted logitudinally with gearbox, as in the A4. It could probably be the best option to keep the chassis as it is, without modifying at least the suspension mounting points...
Of course, the best option for me would be to fit a dino gt4 or a 308 gearbox underneath the engine, also for weight distribution.
this gearbox disposition was one of the keys to make the stratos so competitive.
One thing about the engine is that the more compact it is, the better, because you don´t have much room for it in the engine bay (specially height)
The alfa V6 is quite compact.
cheers.
