T4 big block, less parts available, more expensive, double the HP max 95 to 180hp*. Performance engine is torque monster at speed.
* Both can be made with more HP, the numbers I give are for reasonably longlife performance engines. Plus when hearing builders HP#'s claims keep in mind there's a lot of embellishment or shall we say "wishful thinking". Often builder AND client share equal blame with this wishful POV.

Does the engine bay or transmission connection easier with a T1 or T4? I am considering a T1 for simplicity sake and desire a little more kick than the stock SC motor.
