What type of funds are you working with is really what's going to determine what you should do. The 26 is a great motor, but if you don't have the funds to do it correctly the first time, you're really going to start hating life. I'm not really sure as to why you even brought up the KA-T though. That question would leave people to think that you're a bit short on funds. If that's the case, you should really just focus on the KA. RB swaps are fun, but it's one of those "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" sort of deals. Like Mitec said, the RB25 is a great motor and it's slightly cheaper to get in and running. Going strictly off of retail pricing (off the top of my head), your're going to be looking at roughly 9k to get a rb26 in and running. That's assuming you're not using super expensive parts, and you're careful on what you spend your money on. Now if you can weld, wire, and are creative you can cut that cost down quite a bit. Either way for just the cost of the engine and trans (retail pricing) you can build a 400whp KA.
