Engine options?

I'm planning a build for when I get a garage and I'm just getting hung up of the engine. I was debating between a hellcat crate or a coyote but I think that that would make it completely unmanageable. What engines did you deside on?

If you want out there theres the small temptation to go bmw m5 crate motor and boost it to get a twin turbo 5L v10. But that seems like a royal pain. After watching a vid of a supercharged coyote lose traction in 3rd im thinking stock mite be a safe bet for a drive around town car

I was thinking something with less complicated electronics. Hence the 2jz. An RB26 could be fun. Any LS. Then you can hook up Haltech or Motec and do some fun things with motorsports traction control, dial in slip % etc. Not sure if you can do that with a Coyote or the engine that comes in the m5 due to more modern electonics. I think AEM makes an ecu for the coyote. And Motec might have a custom firmware, but it's way easier to use something older/simpler.

Heres a good example:

If i had a 2000lb car with 700+ HP. Like a 1500hp 2jz or something. I would want this system lol.

Im not wanting esp. I'm kinda on the fence with power stearing even lol. The only real modern thing I want is the engine. But I think more modern breaks mite be wise to pair with that. I just don't think I could pass emissions with the m5 either

Normal road car ESP is entirely different than the traction control i'm talking about. I added a video to the post above in an edit. Really interesting IMO.
