Bit of a tough one to answer that ! What do you want revvy screamer everyday useable too much torque to handle? Depends what your going to do with your car and your budget.

Personally im going for what i said id have a crack at next rwd turbo the rest im leaving to fluidity ;-)

In that case I would suggest using the donor, preferably a pinto for ease, that is you can follow the book without modifying the chassis. It will go well and room for tuning it up a bit when you want to.
