How do you intened on using the car?

What are your goals (horse power and street drivability/manners)?

What is your budget?

Are you after a "plug and play swap" or are your wiring/fab skills good. How much work do you want to do yourself?

What are your plans for engine management? Variable cam timing? Intake? Fuel rails? Ignition (COP or coil packs)?
