Sigh.... The 'cheapest motor'. Careful, you can probably find an engine from a wreck for 'cheap'. It is a lot of work to install an engine, I would recommend finding a low mileage or rebuilt engine with a warranty. I learned a long time age: "There's never seems to be enough money to fix it right the first time, but always enough money to fix it again".

I would look at crate engines from WRX specialists.
