All are imports if you can find 'em.
The future for BGs and BAs is rebuilt and custom. This isn't bad news but will cost more.

not worried about the price as i love my useless little piece of **** and dont really wanna get rid of it for some reason. the only thing i dont like is how uncomfortable the seats get after driving for 5+ hours, had a very sore backside after my sydney trip

Perfect world. ???
ah what Am going to say perfect world - All them conversion are only 4K.

in a unlimited budget or at least decent - FE -DOHC (FE3 for internet) with turbo with Toyota box conversion. 8K in and out and Engineered but still technically not legal for NSW - car is too new for FE DOHC. It's only listed as a motor for Pre 1990 model 626 and telstars. GO NSW know how screw you. but say a BP - boosted Toyota box hello flat 13's

Perfect world - you will buy a Mazda 3 for the BA. You say if you get Rich when you get money. YOu will forget about any crappy BA. Well at least common sense will tell you so.

Yes a SR20 and box would be nice conversion seen a 626 converted but it too still begs the question why not buy a Import bluebird SSS or a N15 or N14 etc etc.

Many ways Wack off. Many way to achieve a goal. Best solution is to Find it make sure it's possible - and then Go for it. But some do need to stay dreams. Like my dream Of smashing Sandra Sully - it ain't going to happen. But I will keep dreaming about it.

None of them engines are hard to fit. In a BA.

IMO it would be more interesting to see a MZR conversion
Or even a new skyactive 2.5L or similar.

Me if I had the time it's One Aurion 3.5Lt with auto into a BA HT. Your in Evola or what ever that lotus is one ecu chip from the Is350 - hell0 230KW engine torque to kill you and D -drive for my lazy arse.

Some would know of a Camry V6 in a mazda 626 wagon = Anything GOES.

if money was no object. then engine would be the in back and the wheel track would be 100mm wider.

but then again if money was no object, a 994 GT3 would be money better spent.
