Jakes engines and kits have a great reputation, if you can afford one, by all means do it.
If you need to spend less, here's my opinion and it's just that, my opinion.
2056cc (71x96) using a counterweighted 2L crank, have all rotating parts balanced, pick a WebCam and lifters that suits your intended use, 1.8l heads (41x34) valves (have them gone through completely), set the compression at 8.5 or 9 -1, depending on the cam choice, using a .040" deck height, dual 40mm Dellortos, a Mallory distributor, a type 1 style fan kit (911 cooling is not needed). It won't be the most "scienced out" engine but built correctly should make about 100 hp and last a lifetime. It still won't be as cheap as a type 1 but will last longer.
