Default 02 Swap/Build think tank

Howdy everyone

I have gone through some posts and notice that there are many options when it comes to building a motor (from the stock 205 to a hybrid to just a newer swap). I think I would like to do some type of build some day, so I was hoping to get input from others who have had successful swaps/builds. Honestly, I'm not sure which route to take; I guess the only major thing is that I want it to pass smog (CA) and that may limit me a little (I heard if I get one of those used JDM engines it won't pass).

I have a semi fresh 205 right now (about 70k) and I know they don't build a lot of power safely. So for now I'm gonna drive it and save for some type of future project.

I'm not looking to dump tens of thousands in hopes of having something extremely ridiculous, I just hope to put something in my 02' some day that is noticeably different : )
