engine

Im debating wether to get an sr20det or a ca18det. They are both good engines from what i have heard. It's probably harder to get parts for the ca18det. I autocross my 240sx alot now and at the last event i was at a guy had a ca18det engine swapped in. He said one of the main reasons was cooling issues he said when i asked y not the sr20det. The engine is cheaper to buy, but is not as poweful. Is it easy to modify it to get up to the sr20det?
