It boils down to what you are capable of working with,your budget and your power goals and use of the car.You can pretty well stick anything in one of these cars.Whether it be a RE or a 13B TII engine.
If you have thought if it,it has been done already and there is info on it available.You just need to broaden your search.

By the way do not Attempt to ask for parts,etc in this section.It's a Technical section ONLY and not the For Sale/Want to Buy Section.
The Sections in the Forum are clearly marked and to be used specifically for their purpose.

Thanks STYX (MOD)

welcome to the board.

if you're putting this kind of "what's better?"-question out there, then it's best if you state your goals along with your question. unless proven to be recently (and competently) build, any way you slice it, these are ALL old engines in varying states of health and bolting one into an FB will be relatively easy. getting it to work take some effort.
