I guess for decent power on a cheap budget, a nice 350 would suit well. I only have about $500 in my motor, and extra for exhaust and trans etc. But I got the motor for free and had alot of stuff already around...

no such thing as going super fast for cheap.

a 350 tpi engine is easy to run 13's for cheap, with some what stock trans, suspension, and rear end. after that it starts to get more and more expensive. just remembe that the fast you want to go, the more has to be done to the rest of the car to hold up to the increased power
