It boils down to what you are wanting to spend and what you actually expect your next engine to do.Be assured that a Jake Raby conversion package or turnkey engine will be pricey.The quality will no doubt be excellent.But if itīs bang for the buck you are after,you might want to consider something else.If you have the capabilities to build an engine yourself,then a suby conversion will be a little cheaper if you can find a good donor engine.Itīs the same game as with the type 4 the difference being that a good suby engine is easier to source and the aftermarket parts are plentiful and usually cheaper than good type 4 aftermarket parts.If you want modern commodities and a modern engine that is nearly trouble free,then the suby is the right choice.HP/cubic inch isnīt any higher than a type 4 either unless you really sink a lot of cash into it and go for all out high dollar race components.If youīre looking for the most HP per dollar then a rotary is the best choice.With good porting and a single 48mm IDA carb those little suckers pump out 280HP@8500rpm and you can do it for under 2000 dollars.
My opinion is if a fun daily driven turbocharged engine with real heat in the winter and long life is what you want,then a suby is really the best choice,even though I am a die hard type 4 guy.
