Engine Swap Help

I am currently having problems in which engine to install in my FC, I need advice in which engine I should choose, either a rebuilt 13b non-turbo or an used 13b-REW?

since you list your car as an 87 GXL, the rebuilt 13b non turbo is your best option... the REW motor will cost too much to install and run.

If you already need a new motor you might consider checking out the chevy LS1 from either a camaro or corvette.

It even fits under the stock flat hood...
