feeler- motor swap

Hey guys!

Cosworth anyone? I have been considering it for a while, but think i am ready to go this route. Strenghtening my tranny, clutch and flywheel in the works probably too. Car would still be a DD, and purpose of build would be for auto-x, TT if we ever get a track again, and the occasional offroad you-know..... Opinions wanted on this motor, or possibly another route.

Go with a Crower motor, reason being is that they are the only ones (that I know of) that do "wet sleeving." EJ258 FTW!

your wife knows my car. currently 37k-ish miles on an 04 motor. Condition is: broken it and waiting for a heart transplant recipient It has been maintained by me and never serviced by a dealership or anyone i didn't know personally.
