Want an openion on this from others

One of my all time favorite cars is a Ferrari 360 but IMO its very underpowered for todays super car standards. I really want to buy one as a future project car as you can find some used once now for K except I would want to buy one with out an engine as I was thinking of doing an engine swap on it. Now about 99% of people probably wouldn't even consider this, but I was thinking of swapping an LS engine in there, something like an LS3 and than going with a twin turbo set up on it. The stock engine weight of a 360 is around 380 pounds to where the ls3 weight is around 415pounds so this probably wouldn't effect the weight ration too much. I think this would just be a more cost effective way of getting the power for it way up there. I know the handling would be effected but things like weight reduction and moving things around could maybe help out with this.
Not trying to get bitched out by anyone, just want to know others opinion on this.
