Are you searching for 200bhp, or an engine with a suitable torque figure that matches a 200bhp output?
Wildcard - I think the last of the Alfa twin cam 8v 2.0 engines (155?) gave about 160bhp - and I think a 16v would make 200bhp quite easily.
A RWD box might me tricky to find - unless you throw half that budget at an MT75c box and bellhousing..
The only non-Honda engine making around 100bhp/ton is the original BMW M3 (E30) lump...you might get one of those for your budget...
Real odd-ball idea - Peugeot/Citroen Mi16V lump? They'll do 190bhp with a cam change.
Is variable valve timing allowed? The later Alfa lump are twin VVT
You can make a lot of engines produce 200bhp, but its whether or not you want a decent torque spread or not.
All the engines I can think of are going through my head - and your budget goes out of the window when you hit about 180bhp..
Really daft idea (but has been done) - what about 2x 1000cc bike engines together? Got room for a straight eight?
Long live RWD...

Yep tend to agree budget is probably more of an issue than whats out there...all the options are there but like you say budget expires just short!!
Might have save up a bit more

As in the title, I'm looking at a transplant for my race car to achieve approx 200bhp (flywheel). Some simple rules, no turbos, superchargers,
maximum capacity for 16v motors is 2.0 and it must mate to a rwd box fairly easily!! Now I know nothing is going to be dirt cheap but how would you
recommend getting there on a budget ??
Worth having a look at the Non turbo version of the SR20DET....the SR20DEA ( Autech ) same internals as the turbo engine but N/A and 200 ish hp
straight out of the box, from the S14 or S15 Nissan Silvia it has a very nice RWD manual gearbox ( good for 300hp +). The Japaneese domestic market
version is the one to find, they kept the best at home.

If you can above 2.0, how about a nice alfa V6
190bhp so should be able to,get 200 wioth out much effort.
cheap as chips.
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
By that time, who cares.
You're a mile away, and you've got his shoes
