This motor,i don't know, the next motor who knows, hahah. Its all about tuning and what seals and who builds the motor and if you beat the **** out of it or not, many variables to it on how long it will last. I really don't care about this one as long as it last long enough to get my motor built

Ok this is how i think i'm going to have the gauge cluster, the voltmeter and fuel level gauge will be mounted in the dash in the holes i already have for 2 gauges. What do you all think about it, it is about the same total size as the stock cluster.

I was wondering about the exhaust manifold that you posted a picture of in the beginning of this thread....how does that work? I can't tell how the pipes work with a turbo. Does that manifold work with a certain type of turbo?
