More parts off...
Bottom end...
Sooo...I was wanting to build my existing engine, and thought about buying a donor engine to build so I could swap mine out then sell the stocker. I ran across this brand new NAVI engine I couldn't pass up. I plan on stuffing some new rods/pistons in it (balancing them too of course) and putting it back together.
If JDM gets their 32V lower intake adapter stuff ready I may stick with my KB, but it looks like I'm going to end up going turbo. Should be a fun project.

Forget the KB -- turbos all the way. Fast, quiet, and tooth-pulling midrange.

nice example of a big twin turbo car ......that pic is around a 99 Bentley
My business partner in San Diego has a 2 door Continental T, red, chrome wheels , it pulls good for such a big car. Mercedes already gave up on thier 493 HP supercharged motors....Mercedes 2006 S-Class (not AMG) will have a 500HP twin turbo as an option....and everyone knows about this guys truck 767/1000

I know for a fact that John is looking for a 2v lightning to use as a mockup to get forms setup for the kits. The 2v will be available in kit form within the next few months. This guy is taking the industry by storm. He actually has completed kits that are available for most of the mustang model years on the shelf ready to ship and complete which is something most turbo kit manufacturers have had a serious problem committing to. It was a smart move by him teaming up with a large volume manufacturer like Bassani to be able to handle any demand loads and offer a quality product at the same time...................
