I want a cheap engine...
I found out today my car doesnt go fast enough for how well it handles 
(seriously, I was flooring it going around an onramp and it didnt care) Im frowning cause I cant afford all these nice engines, heck I shouldnt even be making this post but I am anyway 
Ive got my 120k service coming up, and my car is having a wierd "not starting" problem not associated with the starter OR battery aparenty and has me boggled.
I know the I-speed guys and all you other crazy folks end up with 2.2's and 2.5's sitting around SOMEWHERE... I want one for cheap as nails! (ya right)
Hearing Wackie talk about his $1,500 JDM EJ20 with AVCS made my cry Thats cheap, but I couldnt even afford that if I wanted to... Oh well.
Ok, im just barking myself up a tree arent I?

Other than that, I dont think I care... I just spent $300 on a new starter and new battery, and I just sat there thinking that I could have used that towards a new engine

Could you really bolt up 2.0 dohc heads to a 1.8? I've wondered about that? Also what motors would drop between the mounts on a 1.8. I heard that the mounts would have to be relocated. i ask because i have a 1,8 & a US Ej20 WRX motor with one shot piston.

All the EJ engines bolt up just fine. Its the wiring thats the problem.
And yes, the 2.0 heads aparently bolt right up, I was compairing a 1.8 block to a 2.0 block over on NASIOC and noticed that, and its why im curious if there are any heads floating around What would be even cooler would be JDM AVCS 2.0 heads so you could N/A tune the 1.8 a bit more
