I had toyed with the idea of building the motor in the car once I pulled it out. However at the same time I told myself i could just buy another block… get the car running and enjoy it a bit. Weeeeeeelllll FB market place is a magical place of great deals.
A few days ago I was just scrolling the dsm groups looking for random parts I need and I find a turbo, with manifold and external wastegate on o2 housing. Tell the guy that i’ll drive to pick it up and he mentions he’d make a deal if i took the whole motor… end up being a good enough deal that I do indeed take it all.
Comp280 cams
Ferrea 1mm oversize valves
Manley springs and retainers
Revised lifters
APR studs/bolts all around
Forced Performance cast manifold
Borg warner S258 turbo
Tial 38mm waste gate
Punishment performance recirculated external o2 housing
JE pistons
1g big rods
Balance shaft deletes
Overall way overbuilt for what I plan on doing but thats perfect. Now i’ve got an extra motor i can probably sell or store for later when this one decides it needs a rest.
