are you a "stock guy" or a "custom guy"?this is an important detail in giving you advise.if your into stock motors you can buy a "new turnkey" 1600cc for around $1800.if your like me and like to go up hills faster than a snails pace and have a deep routed paranioa of getting rear ended while merging into the freeway then i would recomend a 1776cc like i have.the perfect balance of speed and reliability.both of these are well undert $3000.another question is are you going to do the instalation?if not then factor in $$$ for that as well.lol...........Louis
