if you're worried abut the turbo swap issue , just build up a customturbo setup... so when u need to do the swap, you can use all the pieces and get custom piping made.

it's more of a money thing if i can get some mean performance out of existing engine then i keep it and take whatever parts from the sohc turbo over to the dohc engine and turbo it
