Been giving it a thought...

I have very slowly been building my X for some serious HP, but the problem is the tranny. I was told by another X head who has done the swap... He used a Uno turbo motor and tranny in his x and it worked out great... This coming year, my X will no longer be required to pass any type of emmissions testing and I would like to make it very fast... and since I am getting a completely new wiring harness from painless wiring, changing from the dual 40 DCOEs to injection won't be too bad...

I have been thinking about it and have some questions....

Is there a preffered year for performance?
Are the engine/tranny combos easily available?
Are they reliable under performance driving conditions?
Is there aftermarket add on parts for more HP?
How much would the complete motor/tranny/wiring harness/brain box normally run from a salvage yard?
Would anyone be interested in helping me do this? since they never brought them to the US, I need to import it...

Anything else I should be asking?
Thanks for any and all help!!
