Need Help selecting new engine

I'm going to have $2500 to spend on a new engine I was wondering what the best deal for my money could be. I want to be running low 13s to high 12s hopefully on the mods listed below. Could some of you guys reccommend where to buy a nice rebuild from? If anyone mentions the word JSPEC I'll punch them

(already tried that and got a bad one)

is your's blow? if not you can get it rebuilt. if it is blown you would be better off to use it as core and buy a rebuilt one. I don't know who's good over on the east coast so can't help you.

but I hope the 2500 is for the engine alone. and not the t04 and fuel aswell...

yes its just for the engine.....the turbo is a LONG ways down the priority list. and my engine is blown 50,30,30 on the rear rotor for compression, the front rotor is fine. Can you recommend and West Coast places you really trust?

I've heard many good things about pineapple. Rob the owner seems to really know what he is doing and is always comming up with new/better things. If I needed an engine and had the $$ I'd probably be heading down to him.

the other option is to get a stock engine from mazda and install that. but I asume you are going to want it ported.
