most cost effective swap?

Honeywell AGT1500.

m30 extremely reliable-not to much extra power over an m20
LS1 not as reliable as m20/m30-way more power and not very expensive, cheap upgrades
m5x reliable- not a whole lot of power in stock form
m60 pricey to build but reliable, good power and still a bmw engine (if that matters to you)


Honestly I would do an s50 swap. Theres lots of possibilities for performance and its very reliable, Plus I like staying straight 6 in e30s when it comes to swaps.

M20 2.7 turbo vs. M30 vs. M5x vs. M60 vs. LS1

Which setup do you think is the most cost effective way to go as far as the amount of power output and reliablity goes?

Or if you have a better one tell us.
