If you don't mind flycutting you could always go with the PRC 5.3 2.5's and have them milled down to 59cc. Awesome combo with the MS4.

Need a big stall, gears, Poly motor mounts, Poly trans mounts LCAs, relo brackets, poly rear sway bushings, some serious tuning. That doesn't include cam swap parts.
Heads as mentionned 243 stage 1 if no flycut

What is the purpose of your car and what do you wish to achieve?
