How long before you go turbo? It will run fine but you power will suck....no other alternatives really to save money in the long run i know. Do you have to build the motor now? Is youer takign a crap. You could spend your money in a turbo kit or make one and do the motor later? Either way will work fine. Hell for giggles you can add a nitrous setup so you can still have a little fun here and there.

yeah for the money you cant go wrong with the 250.00. I was thinking put your turbo kit on enjoy 6 psi~8psi while you build a forged bottom end ya know. As for parts to rebuild with.....go to Howell Automotive and look at their engien kit. it tells you everything you get. Make a list and price the parts individually. For rods and pistons/rings look at Ebay, type in 420A in the search. There is a guy who sells the combo for 765.>eagle rods, JE pistons, Hasting rings i think. That alone is cheaper than Howell so you start saving there. Howell is best place for oil pump at 99.00, bearing i have not really researched as much. I get wholesale cost so i figured i would go with OEM from the dealer for gaskets/seals and bearings. The price bob kise sells is wholesale so he would be a good source to check for the small things too. Use concelli as a reference for what the part costs from the dealer at www.partznet.com That will give you an idea what the dealer charges.
I base all my part costs off Howell to see what i am saving.
