If you got the money, Time, etc...
Go for a k20

or

Get a b16/b18c

cost money though cause you need to rewire stuff and get mounts, linkages. etc...

IF you just want to slap a motor on just get a dual cam zc and boost 8 pounds

or

just keep the stock motor and keep it daily driven and get about 40 mpg

if you are anywhere above 200whp you are walking on a tight rope

Actually they came in brown and blacktop. The only one that will fit without serious modification though is the blacktop zc engine
