I have to admit, I get whatever I get the best deal on. Right now I've got a CA18 that I'm rebuilding, came with most of the parts for the re-build. I've always liked the CA's though. They're TINY little motors and the design is basically a mini RB. If you drive a bone stock, nice running CA you really can't tell much of a difference between a comparable SR. They've got more potential than people give them credit for.
Before I get the CA going though I'm swapping in a KADE that I got for STUPID cheap. It came with some nice aftermarket parts and the COMPLETE, WORKING A/C system. My KAE runs well, but it's got almost 300k on it and it's burning oil. Also, no A/C. I don't want to be in ANY rush on the CA, I want it done RIGHT.
Never been a big SR fan primarily because of the idiotic valvetrain design.
I truly CANNOT STAND almost any cross-manufacturer engine swap. The ONLY one that I actually like is the GM LS series swap. That's the only engine that you can't find a Nissan equivalent for. 1UZ = VH45, 1/2JZ = RB25/26, other American V8's = cheap/broke...
