The Duratec is such a cheap form of power now that it really makes the new ones competitive in cost.

It may be hard to find one that is customized to your liking, but I saved around $20k buying mine used (and it is pretty much the top of line all you can possibly want/need version)

Plus, I think there is something about knowing your car inside and out from building it.

I really wish I could have built mine for this reason, and if you can afford it you should definitely go this route.
That said, I've already had the car apart enough on several occasions that I am beginning to know it inside and out anyway.
