Paul, I would also have to say a 2nd gen b16 would be the best bang for your buck. What is price range though? And what are your plans for the motor.

an ls motor would be the best bang for the buck... plus you can still run 87 octane

Price really doesn't matter to me right now....I don't mind spending around $5000 with install...I want something decent though...

B20 the torque monsta!

When you ask a question to which the answer is an opinion rather than fact, you can expect 3 pages to be filled up easy.
