Sorry bout not giving enough info. It will have a front mount t76 mm turbo, with the EPP Forced inductions cam, double springs, titanium lifters, and arp headbolts.

Coated floating pistons 8cc, PM rods and NI crank. Damn well built motor but the timing chain sux. Mine had a ton of slack with less than 500 miles, block is not drilled for tensioner either. Went with Motion 7240 gear set and no more problems.
