420A aren't worth the trouble... 4G63 that bi*** !!!!
 
Although the 4g63 motors are better I don't think building a 420a is a bad move. I have a 420a and
So do a couple friends of mine. we aren't drag racing down every street but we do get some power out of them, and we get good gas out of them too, it's a fun car to drive even if for the most part we drive them stock. If you want pretty good power results it's not a bad motor since you've already gone with building the 420a. You can always turbo it as well if you're looking for serious power and to me it's not much worse than the 4g63. Just make the best out of what you've gone with.
 
Besides, it's a nice challenge to turbo any motor with the right and correct procedures. Seen some users turbo up GM and FORD motors and get great results that can scare the unexpected.

Besides, a 4G63 will not replace the 420A chassis setup without some major costly overhauling, and it's obviously, the OP has no intention do to so.
 
Welcome, I just bought mine in Nov 2012...fun car I have to say. Still a head turner.
