I don't think a 350-500 whp D16 is going to be particularly expensive, although you are going to run into some interesting ignition tuning issues. Nothing you aren't equipped to handle with your experience and knowledge.

This is pretty close to a setup I would go with and with a few tweaks could get me to my goals or very close.

I talk so much ---- about DOHC people that I feel like I would be letting them win lol... It's not just that though, there are other reasons. I do know about the headgasket issue, but I think with a good build and tuning I should be okay. The Full-Race pinks car didn't seem to have problems and Jeff Evans says he wouldn't be worried about 500+whp on stock d-series sleeves, but then again I would still be a little worried.

If you stay D your only handicapping yourself if your goal is to build a fast car. But than again if you want to prove a point than stay D. I will admit if you stayed with the D it would be cooler, but I only say that becuase its your money not mine.

Replacement parts for d-series engines are always going to be cheaper.
Keep your tranny, keep most of your setup and just add a nice piston/rod combo, some head work, and a nice turbo. Doesn't get any cheaper than that.
