i voted for the T2 motor simply because i figured they will be cheaper and easier to find than the Gen III or importing a Cosmo motor. also i believe i heard that there is an issue with the SE front cover fitting over their oil pumps (and i've never touched one, so i don't know if the T2 pump bolts up to them).

however, aren't the Gen III motor and Cosmo 13B the same thing?

ok I voted TII... for the price vs performace you can't beat it.

What I'd do.. Stop buying drivetrain components for the -SE and start stockpiling TII parts for awhile as you find good deals. Then when you *think* you have all the TII parts, then go for it!
