@Bald0tiresI would start by looking at what you're comfortable doing right now, and do some research on your desired set up and go from there. M42/44 motors are not my personal favorite idk what they're capable of would you be interested in doing a 24V swap and turbo that?

First question: Which do you want more, 300 hp or a turbo M40? I don't mean this to indicate you shouldn't do this, just that it's important to keep track of what is the means here and what is the end. I'm building a turbo Mopar slant six project myself, and this is a case where I wanted the challenge and uniqueness of a turbo slant six instead of a horsepower number or particular quarter mile time. If 300 hp is the end goal, you will want to weigh a turbo build against a six cylinder or even V8 swap in terms of difficulty and drivability. If a monster M40 is the end goal, then the process becomes a bit different, and you will end up weighing the trade offs for different horsepower levels.
As Yogi Berra once said, if you don't know where you're going, you'll end up somewhere else.
