Swaps were stupid cheap and now are 4x the price. You bring up ka and they go "yeah they handle a good deal of power for a truck motor when built"

If I were you OP, I would look into ka if you want to build/boost 4 banger plus have money left over. Im sure you can find a stupid clean manual kouki if you look around for 4-5k semi stock or pick up a nice little rolling shell thats clean for 1k and buy a dual cam separate stupid cheap and go from there. Not sure on your mechanically inclined but building a car is really good experience if you got the time/money/tools.

If you have a budget of 15k which im assuming you have since you said pick up a car for 10-11k then 6k building the motor I would just suggest buying someone else project thats done also. Could find a v8 or jz swapped easy for 10k. Then you still got leftovers to put more power and whatever you want to make it different from last owner.

Theres a couple cars I'm looking at getting, theres a clean 98' s14 in Socal that's sr20 swapped with forged internals and gt2871r at 330whp, he wants around 16k for it so I might have to go with that and call it a day. I've been looking on the classifieds here and whenever I search 2jz it always says it can't find results, my dream 240 would be an rb26 swapped one, however they're really rare to find and are often too expensive for a clean one.
