2.33 or 2.35, but its more expensive than a 2.5, or go for a 2.1, it all depends on your budget, then look at a new clutch (decent brakes if you dont already have them) possably a new gear box as the 2.3 or 2.5 will just eat yours... or stick to a 2ltr.

I think it's a case of how deep are your pockets, then decide.

As above, decide your budget and then speak to one of the reputable specialists (my recommendation is David at APi) about what you can achieve for your money.

Good luck!

Would be worth having a read of the "build 2.33" thread in the Technical Topics Archive too.
