It seems there is more acceptance in the UK
for mix/match engine brands and bodies
than in the US.
That being the case, you may find a better
deal on a powerplant since you are not
limited to any one type.
If you are not in a rush, you can contact various engine shops and let them know what you want to spend and intended usage.
For $ 5000 you should be able to get an
engine with 400 hp or more depending upon
compression ratio, cam selection, etc.
Another option is buying a used motor from a racer. Even if they need freshening up,
you can still save money in most cases.
A lot depends upon intended usage.
A good race motor may be awful to live with
on the street. And a good street motor will
probably not win competitive races.
Good luck.
