Thanks Eric. I'll need to source one though. I can't push it too much with this salvage yard guy as he is giving me the whole engine, acc' & all now with Inlet Mani' to help me out
Originally he was only supplying the engine minus accessories until I told him the old engine sat/was abused to such an extent I don't trust anything on it @ this stage. He's delivering it for extra $100 too.
I'll ask him when he rings me next week for organising delivery.
Btw, engine was pulled out of salvage Merc today
Also, the turbo is OK. Got it looked over by an old-schooler who knows he's stuff. He suggests it will make a respectable 450hp. it has a bit of wear but not terminal @ this stage. Considering I am using stock donor engine now, I may keep boost to 10psi, maybe 12. Have it with low & high boost perhaps. Say 6psi & 10-12? I don't want to punish this engine that is such a blessing in disguise considering the fate of the other one.
