Make sure that the car runs correctly first?

the KA is a great engine but an RB has more powerpotental being a inline 6. swaping motors is expensive i dont care what it is i have about $8000 for my twin turbo swap on my FC and doubt that will cover everything. an RB30DET biuld im expecting to spend in the area of $8000-$12000 for a nice relable 500 at the wheels for my track 240SX. now if you can source a nice motor for a good price more powered to you. im not to sure about normal motors from japan but i know that a rotory engine will almost surely require a rebiuld once you get it.
