You can find m30 motors in junkyards for $2-300 dollars, all day every day. The only expensive part is a transmission, but you can always use a G240. Motor mount arms have come down in price too, now that there are multiple vendors. I think I did my entire m30 swap for around $1000 back in '10.
Put another way, it was cheaper for us to swap in an m30 than it was to constantly replace exploding m20s in our LeMons/ChumpCar e30. Even the judges agreed.

I tried that same argument when I swapped a 13b in place of a 12a in my teams RX7.. they didn't bite.
Course it didn't help the tech (douche) was a rotary guy and his team was running a cheaty 3rd gen.
