Jun 2.2 liter. Their attention to detail and quality of machining is rarely matched. A similar Cosworth shortblock would be a close second choice.

The 2.2 for the close to 2.0 redline plus the extra displacement helping with spool and torque.

2.0 or 2.3 4G63 block cause they are worth a heck of a lot more money and I could sell mine off

Just call up Buschur he makes it happen. High rpm screamer then get the 2.0 with a great head. If your on the street or the road course get the 2.3 for the faster spool and more TQ.

I'm all about the 2.0, then I have always liked a good built 2.4.

As much as I love my built 2.0, if it was free, I'd got with an AMS 2.3RR with their CNC ported head.

2.0 its been proven time and time again by companies like ams, br, ets, ivey, etc, etc.

I really don't like the 2:3 unless its for road racing

2.1....high rpm potential...and the ability to make rediculous power without hardblocking.....really depends on what your needs are...a 2.4 long rod is also very tempting for a street car...
