i dont wanna build a motor thats almost impossible to get to handle that kind of power.
right now i can have a stroker kit put on my srt-4 motor and have the entire engine fully built to handle up to 1400whp and total cost for that is in the 10k range.
i need to compare the two motors and see what my best bet would be, also taking into factor that ill need to get alot of custom work done to make a stroked srt motor fit and work well in an mr2 setup. the extra money in fab work almost isnt worth it.

I'm not bashing, I've acually owned a couple older turbo dodge cars. Fun cars, tough engines. It would definatly be an interesting project, I'd probably even subscribe to your build thread.
On the wild idea of building the ultimate sleeper car - a 1400hp wood paneled Dodge Caravan, I looked into the engine you're talking about

Darrell Cox Racing - 2.6L Stroker Short Block (Powered by CubeCart)
6k
Darrell Cox Racing - Pro Series Cylinder Head (Powered by CubeCart)
2k
Darrell Cox Racing - Twin Turbo Kit (Powered by CubeCart)
3.2k
Darrell Cox Racing - Performance Intake Manifold (Powered by CubeCart)
$650
Darrell Cox Racing - Level 5 Axles (Powered by CubeCart)
1.3k
Darrell Cox Racing (Powered by CubeCart)
8.3k
+ 5-8k for Misc (fuel, tuning, cooling, ect)
I'm seeing around $27,000 in just parts to build a 1400hp capable SRT-4/Caravan.
More on topic, look here
ATS Racing 350 whp complete build up for info on what one of the top MR2 tuner's is doing as far as engine builds.
What kind of racing are you planning to do?
