Well i havent really posted on here lately being the really busy person i am,,......lol but i have been wrecklessely overworking myself at my job doing over time and all this due to the new project i came upon about 2 months ago. well to cut it short i had a e153 converted all trac tranny to fwd platform with a cusco lsd and well to go with it i needed an engine,..... so the guy that sold the tranny to me and also converted it told me about his mr2 and his 600+ HP 3sgte swap and well i asked him about his motor currently in the mr2 turbo (3sgte) and well i ended up buying everything i will ever need for the 3sgte to run in my car,.......and well also advice which was how he blew about 4 3sgte's and it was his first time building one up from scratch and reccomended me to, soooooo after i pulled everthing from the mr2,......i trailed it home and put it on the stand and i took it completely in pieces and well now the block is currently in the machine shop getting bored out .002 over and well i guess i took his advice and well im reaching a goal of 350 whp as a RELIABLE motor at 20 lbs of boost sooo YES i am ready to dump alot of money and btw i have a f10x haltec ems system and here are some pics of me in the gray undershirt and my friend pulling the motor apart

sorry to hear about the miss fortunes.. dont suppose you are parting the ARP rod bolt out of the original motor (assuming theyre still good?)
