that's your 3rd post in this thread with that picture in it. FE3 rods look stout. We get it.

I've thought about an RB26 or 2JZ swap (both have been done) but I always think... why? 2jz's and especially RB26's are fantastic engines but so are rotors, I doubt I'll swap anything of mine.

and if I do, it'll be for an LSX, just because I've never owned a fast V8 car and it's hard to argue with LSX performance.

2.3T's work well, a friend of mine has a 1984 SVO that's not dramatically far from stock and runs deep into the 11's. It's got a completely stock shortblock, and stock (ported) head.

A Mazda KL-series V6 would be sweet in an FC. This guy on another forum I'm on is big into Probes and randomly suggested it one day. The more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

For power & reliability: Toyota JZ series engines (I6) OR Toyota UZ series (V8)...do some research on those engines and they'll blow your mind!! Toyota literally made 900 engines before they were satisfied w/the 1UZ (4.0L, 6 bolt mains) AND BMW used the design of that engine as blueprint for their V10!
