Question new engine suggestions?

Hey all,
So I'm making my 04 rx8 into my winter project ( i live in ontario canada so the winters can be kind of long lol) and plan on dumping about 20g`s into her. I;d like to order a replacement engine ( whether it be a crate, or a re-man) prefferably already mildly modded. Most likely a new tranny too. I did a bit of looking online and havn't really come across anything spectacular yet, so just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where to go for the best bang for my buck?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Steph

you could build a 400whp monster with 20g easy

I priced one up in NZ, it was gonna cost me $NZ14500 for a drive in drive out 400hp FD swap using stock tranny

for 20 thousand you can drop a 3 rotor in there--if you do a lot of work yourself.

they spent 6 months going between the flowbench and the dyno, and for about $16k they have a 260rwhp engine package, you get everything from air filter to exhaust tip.
