Default I can't finish a turbo build

So I'm doing this instead.

Just a basic 6.0 m120 because I don't need a diesel like overstroked engine (or have the money for one), it's a street car so the fitment will be stanceboii :P.

400hp isn't too bad especially for an engine of its Era. How much does it weigh? Just curious .

It's about 600lbs fully dressed with torque converter.
I've stripped a crate with almost 100lbs of unused crap off it already, so about the same weight as an iron block v8 or 2jz.
It'll do well over 400hp with an ecu, exhaust and rpm bump to 7k, so that's plenty :P

Looks like your radiator / cooling system may need to be 'inventive'!!

It takes up about the same space as a ford v8, so I'll do the same thing they do :P.

I'll probably do that in the future. For now I'm just putting it in as "easy" as possible to get it registered.
