i had some very bad news just before my weekend started. the engine i was going to put in my car was nicked from my mates house

.
little tw*ts. oh well,
so now iam going to have to build my own rocket of rust. all weekend i was serching forums and old mags to see what engine would fit in the car and has the most power potentail. now where the problems start, i could go for the very nice 2.1zvh add some race cams, forged piston ect. or spend more money and a lot of very hard work and get a cossie motor and tune that up and try and fit it.
i want to try and keep the girl look crap so if i find a saxo sitting at the lights i can see their jaws drop when they see a standed motor burn rubber and leave them at the lights wondering what the hell just happened.
all opinions welcome i may turn the rust bucket into a full blown racer (not decided yet lol)
