Speaking of the 'Busa conversion, I have a friend who is currently working on putting a GSXR1100 engine in a Fiat 500. Pretty trick. I'll let you know how it turns out.
As far as longevity, I think you hit on an important point. The issue is how much HP am I happy with, and what engine can meet that criteria without over working it. Certainly you can build a T1 or T4 for 500HP, but it won't last long. A Suby would be better suited, if not a SBC.
If you're looking for ~150HP, The T4 would be my choice.
If you want <125HP, a well built T1 will do.
More than 200HP, I'd look at water cooled conversions.
That would be my guideline just from several thousand hours of reading other people's experiences online. Of course, if money isn't an issue, throw all of that out the window.
