350X engine. Its the easiest to do and has been done the most before. Powroll sells engine mounts and an exhaust for this swap.

I ran a 350X motor in my R for 2 GNCC seasons without one problem. Just make sure the motor you get is in good shape and keep the oil changed often. You may want to add an aftermarket oil cooler cause they do run hot.
You don't need a kit to bolt it in, just a little triming off the rear motor mount and upper right frame rail and it slides in. If you decide to go that way, bring it up and I'll put it in for ya.
