$6400 is a bargain for a race-ready longblock. Ever seen the prices for a formula atlantic spec 4ag from an engine builder? It'll make you have a heart attack. With an LS1 swap it is not hard to spend around $7000-$10,000. Yes you can do it cheaper if you hunt for deals and/or have hookups. But you can build your own GT3 spec KA longblock for cheaper if you hunt for deals and/or have hookups too. It is no cheaper to do an LS1 swap then it is to build a badass KA, PERIOD. I am "policing" (as you say) this thread because it WAS a good thread. Good discussions on what it takes to make a KA badass, and that is the whole point here. Now it has turned into the same old crap, a discussion on what the best N/A motor is. The KA is not the best motor in the world, we all know that, but it IS a good motor.
TIMSTER: $4000+ for a 225hp motor sounds EXACTLY like a SR to me! People spend that kind of money for that kind of power on SR's all the time (including the swap)! What makes the KA not worthy? A 200hp N/A KA will absouluely OWN a 200hp SR because the KA 1: has more torque 2: is a n/a motor and therefore has better response than a turbo motor (assuming the tuning is well done).
