The 2JZ is a ridiculous bargain for the value, even today. I'm not sure what you consider Porsche money but you can get a brand new 2JZ for 4 digits.

The other engine that comes to mind is the LS1, which was also developed in the 90s and is still used by GM today.

Outside of those two I'd start looking at supercars (I don't mean Porsche, I mean Koenigsegg) for engines that are as impressive.
