$2800.00

All forged turbo long block with custom grind cam and stage III heads. Pay to searh for good deals. Plus already proven #'s. Had 1000 miles on it and the guy sold it because he kept blowing up tranmissions and wanted to get out of racing. Needless to say I am very happy


As far as

Motor
Clutch upgrad
Fuel System
Turbo Kit
Meth
Gauges

I am pushing $12-$13k

DAMN! how'd you manage that? PM me with some advice man!

I could swing that price on the motor, and then piece together the fuel system.

I'd be doing 98% of the work myself.
