Yes David, this is for my 85 which I damaged at Noble in 2002 or was it 2003? I've had several financial blows over the last 3 years that put the car on hold, but started putting back cash so I wouldnt spend it until I had enough to get the car done. I would like to put together a mid 10 capable combo if possible using as much of what I already have as I can. I am sure I will probably go over my ideal budget of 5 grand considering I have to buy a turbo AND rebuild the engine..and I have decided I will not cut many corners so I dont have to do it again anytime soon.
Parts I will reuse:
CAS V-4 stock location intercooler, Hans Feustel (sp?) ported heads, ported intake, upper Plenum, RJC spacer, downpipe and exhaust, Vigilante converter, and the tranny Larry helped me build.
I am debating whether to girdle and cap the block with steel caps or just use one or the other, and I am considering converting to a roller cam and rocker setup. I know I have high hopes for this car based on the budget I have which is why I am looking for the best bang for the buck work and possibly used parts as well. Will I go mid 10's after the engine build?...prolly not because I still need bigger injectors and modded ECM as well as chips and tuning. The list just gets longer and longer of what I need to do to do what I want and I am just trying to determine what I really NEED rather than just installing parts to see what happens.
