one aspect that i don't think has been mentioned, but is a major reason i'm M50-swapping, not M20 rebuilding:
the maintence.
M50 o course has better performance technology - higher compression, 4 valves per cylinder, and vanos ('cept '92, but ya knew that) :P
The m20 has the good ole engine feel, with the ole engine maintence that needs to be done.
but the new technology goes further more than performance upgrades, it has maintence changes: No distributor to replace, no valves that need adjustment, NO TIMING BELT, etc. 8)
For a daily driver, M50 would seem cheaper to continue driving. The only problem i know of is the plastic impeller on the thermostat, which can easily be replaced.
