Are you planning to use the car competitively or track days only?
That should be the deciding factor. If Track days, then by all means, use whatever the most powerful engine you can afford.

If you're using the car competitively, you need to understand the class you're going to run in and if the car would be competitive with the modifications and the class you'd have to run in.

and just a note to clarify, B16As are NOT gutless as stock. Alot of people totally underestimate a B16A because its a 1.6l only.
