To give my opinion on engine choice, flyology suggested a Lexus V8, it would suit the bill perfectly being injected, 32 valve, 4L, rev to 7-9k, standard forged internals, 200kW and made of full alloy!
But since your using a gq chassis, you could fit the rb series motor (skylines and vl's ...

If someone could size up a Bundera Chassis if you
own one that would be appreciated as i cant seem
to find one floating at the wreckers!
But so far its going to be GQ!
And my brother has a V6 in his Lux and it seems to
go hard. So if he can flog it and it doesn't stop then
it should defiantly go ok ...

Also i want it to be a good car on road..Zippy and fuel efficient.
And OFF road i want it to go anywhere and every where. just to annoy people.
I want it to look mean but give the false idea that it cant do it

The hardest part to get legal would be convincing an engeneer of how to attach a chassis under a body that isn't designed for one.
I'd love to see it done, you will get major respect in Oz if you can pull it off well.

My partner has a Landcruiser and i dont like them!

and compact and if it can be done legally it will go more
places then the landcruiser! hahaha ...
