Some other B-series. H-series. J-series. Any boosted car. Maybe be a little more specific as to what your goals are so you can get some serious answers. You have a horsepower figure in mind? Keep in mind bench racing isn't allowed.

You can daily drive and/or race with ANY engine. Including the one you already have in your car. Until you get some kind of idea of what you want you won't get any real helpful answers.
Best bet is to do some research and familiarize yourself with the stickies at the top of the page paying close attention to this one.
