I am looking at any and all possibilities to:

A) find a light weight platform
B) make a decent amount of power
C) fit a 11-12” tire/wheel

Ideally, the power would come from the same brand as the chassis, but thats not absolutely required.
Ideally that chassis would have a decent amount of aftermarket support and be easy to acquire.
Thee engine should be able to make somewhere between 550-700 hp and do it with relative ease.

Those are my goals and it is very possible that I will not reach that, but I would like to try.

If it doesnt happen, or will only happen with huge reluctance and headaches, I will ditch the idea entirely.

I would like to be somewhere near 2:10 at COTA on slicks and 2:15ish on R comps....

If it doesnt work out, then I will buy a used radical and do some development work on that chassis (which I have some ideas for).

This was my last time attack car:
jesus, supercharge the s65 on an e46 m3 chassis

i suggest you go for the radical. Well be easier and less timing consuming.
Swaps are not easy. PITA from my experience. I had a e30 m3 with a s62 engine. it ran but i always had some type of issue. After 2 years of headaches. Went back to stock...
