A K series would probably make more sense at this point than a B series for an engine swap

@ Yamaha: True, but the K-series is also about a grand more expensive on most sites. Plus B series practically drops right in. Simple engine mounts is all that is needed for the actual engine bay. Then I would need to convert from OBD1 to OBD2, as well as swap the tranny and axels I believe, but I am pretty sure B series swaps are easiest. I am a noob when it comes to engine swaps so I wanna keep it simple if I do go that route haha.
jmackk had a lot of good choices. Depending on how many track and drift events you participate in should determine if you need a dedicated track car. Here are some other track cars you can consider.
A C4 Corvette. They are coming down in price, especially if you do not get the 92-96. They have a good chassis and plenty of power. The 92-96 have the nicer nose and rear end and also have the higher power LT1 engine.
Porsche 944. These are dirt cheap for a Porsche and MotorTrend said that they are the best handling cars made in the 80s. Light weight chassis that is perfect for a track car.
300ZX. I haven't read about them very much due to them not being so popular anymore. But, they can be found with a 5 speed and just get one that is NA so you can find one easier and don't have to worry about turbo repairs. You also did mention that you wanted one.
E46 3-series. I really like my E-36 328i and the E46 chassis feels very similar. They handle very well for a street car and have a good aftermarket support. The downside to these are that they are more expensive than the earlier E-36 and E-30s.
Buying a prepped race car will help save you money so keep that in mind.
