What do you plan on doing with the car? Based on its stance I’m guessing you just cruise around with it and go to shows. If that’s the case stay B series. Will be much cheaper and give you plenty of power.
 
if your looking at getting started with time attack or track events a motor swap would be last on my list, unless there was a problem with it. Suspension, tires, and seat time will make you faster than more hp will. I have run lower lap times in my 150hp powered cars than cars with far more hp.
 
With that said B series engines and transmissions have been getting more and more expensive. A B series will be easier in your car, if you plan on doing it all yourself, but finding B series that won’t need to be rebuilt can be a challenge as well. A K series can be as easy but you will need to spend more money on premade harnesses and parts to make it more plug and play.
