Default building F23

Finally, all the years of buying parts, trading parts, selling parts, and buying new ones. My engine is finally being worked on, and my turbo dreams are that much closer. I sent my car to the shop on friday for the bottum end to be built. What i bought, and am having installed:

Fully built bottum
Iron Sleeve
C. Pistons from 8.5:1 to 9:1 a/r
Egale Rods
New Bearings
Ferrea Drivetrain
Water / Oil Pump
New Gaskets

After i get my car back (est. 1.5 months) i have to break it in for at least 1,500 miles. After that im ditching my old garrett/chrysler t3 (anyone wanna buy it, ill sell it for $75 shipped) and im buying a GT3071R turbo and hope to get at least 400whp daily driven on 91 octane, and 450whp on 100 octane at the track.
