K now any advice. If I'm forgetting anything, as I plan on taking out the old motor soon and starting this off.. As pretty as this motor looks on the engine stand its useless sitting there huh,
Hey at least I'll have a good running motor to fall back on, hope I won't have to though.

I think thats about it, are you planning on running it at the strip?

A gold chain and a Diamond grill that says DSM

Strip/weekend. Not my Daily, Sorry to say the little 4.0 ranger is for that.
Going for a hp goal 600hp on it.

Well, upgrade that turbo for sure. I recommend a e3 16g or bigger.

I didnt see you mention exhuast. I prefer the build your own version to the products that are currently offered. ApeXi has gone down hill a bit and I have heard of people blowing out the mufflers on megan racing ones as well.

Go with some nice 3" stainless, a good resonator, and a decent flowing muffler. Might need to pic up an ApeXi downpipe.

Have picked one up! them Bi***es is heavy. No really That is what I have now. Already on the car, that 14b is pissing in the wind in that big of exhaust, but planned ahead and already put it on. Well damned if I don't I'll still have to take the DP off again. Has a port for a wideband installed but no wb yet.
And the megan muffler, is already on it.
How do you know these things, been stalking me? jk.

On the turbo what about a precision gt35 housing with a dsm bolt pattern comming out attached to a standard garrett gt35 or 30. I say those as they are in my price range rather than going say hx40 or gt42. Is it better go go externally gated on those or will internal gate be fine. If internal I'll use a Banks WG actuator to hold it shut as I have one lying here, that I planned on using on a 57 trim Sorry to say I sold that one to pay taxes.

 

[2gdsm_nc]

Added a few Items to the list that I picked up.

 

[2gdsm_nc]

starting the engine swap tomorrow. So I gave the ol 2.0 a last spin tonight, and guess what one of my downpipe bolts came out and it is barely hanging on.

But that is a problem I don't have to worry about.

It was just helping me take it apart!!!
