I do intend coming back to it, but I am an absolute amatuer and need to do some learning first.

I want a brand new engine to experience the break in, the tuning etc but the car is getting old (2004) and will not keep up with the new cars anyway, so i dont want to spend heaps on an engine as I am not very competitive and just want to run the thing around a track and get some much needed tuning/racing experience.

So...

Can anyone recommend a good cheap economical engine that i can run in it?

Must have:
SG Shaft
Rear Exhaust
Slide Carb

I want to spend about $150 only. The missus is watching over my shoulder
Best option to me is:

RB Products SPEED .12 3-Port Touring Car Engine (Turbo Plug)
[RBD01712-000650] MAP Price: $139.99 at a-main hobbies
It is a nova based engine, its ROAR legal, it is reliable.
