For a number of reasons, the 2.0 T engine is the least desireable of all the early motors. Small valves, mild cams, non counterweighted crank, Marrelli electrics, and so forth.

Not a bad engine, but very difficult to upgrade to anything better than the 110 hp it came with...

So as long as you are aware of this going in, and understand that a rebuild of this engine will not be significantly less expensive than any other 2.0 to 2.4 six, then the price is okay.
