your gonna be extremely hard pressed to squeeze 200whp out of a N/A kae, there is a company that sells kae crate motors putting out roughly 300hp, but their life span is counted in hours of use not miles not to mention a 6k+ price tag if i recall.

i priced a built bottom end (assuming i do all the work as usual)

weisco pistons with eagle rods = $740
ACL bearings = $80
ARP studs for main and head = $200
cometic head gasket = $80
hot tank and general block inspection = $150 (depends on your machinist)

roughly $1250+ the cost of the cx racing kit = $2350 still cheaper
now add in rx7 460/550's / nistune / z32/n60 maf your just cresting $3k
then you have to have it tuned say $3500 (with out price of clutch)

a built head will run you another $800+ you'll have a motor capable of 400+whp (depending on tune) all day long
