Why not just find a TII engine and then rebuild that?

You will need counter weights for the turbo rotors that match the weight number I think. Good luck.

+1 That's what I'm leaning towards right now.... just have to get my garage built, lulz.

you can run the high compression rotors. just be safe when tuning it... i'm hoping that you wouldn't just put a stock t2 ecu on and boost 10 lbs.... you can pick up a rtek and a safc, wideband and tune it to your needs. just remember to be safe especially when in high compression motors. water/meth injection is an added safety measure... just depends on how much you want to buy. it'd be cheaper to purchase a t2 motor though.

Well in that case, use the NA rotors and read:

yes you can. they bolt right up, you need to tap the middle iron so the bolt can thread it, and the lower intake manifold needs to be ported (japan2la on the forum sells ported manifolds). other than that, you are good to go. youll have ot figure out some things though, but thats ok. like ECU and whatnot. which i recommend. ditch the stock ****(electronics)
