Default im looking to get a good strong reliable engine upgrade?

im looking to get a new engine for my mgt.but i have no idea which engine is reliable and powerful and wutnot,i would like an engine with enough power to ripp a wheelie at will but not so powerful it will rip my truck appart? it also has to be reliable and easy to tune. and the cheaper the engine the better like under 150$

and is there any engines that the backplate of the stock engine will fit "i like my drill start"?

thkzz to all

well first of all, what type of truck? secondly, a universal piece of advice. MANUFACUTER HP RATINGS DON MEAN CRAP! thirdly, the engine manufacturers reputation is a good starting piont for deciding what type of engine you want. it will cut down on the variety of engines dramaticaly
