I just bought a 4 bolt CY 27.2 from largescalerc.com for around $208 with promo code. It runs very strong and you will have money left over for a nice pipe.

RE: Good engine for baja 5b 2.0
do you like the 23cc. It has about 2.5HP. If you want to increase it to 4 HP get a decent tuned pipe. They cost about $150 - $200 dollars.
The 2nd option is to get a big bore kits for you stock engine. You keep the base of the engine and change the top. They are about $75 - $150 and will get you to 3.5HP easily. Spend the remainder on a tuned pipe and you are hitting 4.5 - 5HP. Plus you are under budget.
$400 can get you a long block by one of the engine tunners (ESP, OBR, Dogpile). will have to remove your carb, housing, clutch, etc. over to the new engine. You might get 3.5 - 4.5HP with one of those engines. You will still need a good pipe to really get the engine going. past 5HP.
Another option is to get a stock 4 bolt like the Zen G290 or CY F270. They are about $220. Then send the $150 - $200 to get a decent pipe. Both of these a 4 bolt so when you have more $$$ you can get the big bore kits ($100 - $200 to get them on the same level as the mod engines ^^^.
hope that helps
