a) define fully built. especially, knowing that you obviously have all this knowledge as fact... but youre still asking what to get for your motor.
b) last time I checked, a b16 could be had for anywhere from 1000-2200 depending on generation, and would be much easier to cox an additonal 25 crank HP out of, then 55 out of a sohc. More torque. More consistant power. More future potential beyond 185 crank HP.
