Anyway, I question whether anyone at even twice that price could (practically) put together a better 3L for turbocharging than what AER offers. I'm considering the upgraded internals, ST220 cams, machining for oil squirters, additional quality control steps and such, and the fact that it�s a complete drop-in engine (I hope!); I think $4300 shipped to my door is a bargain. Only mass production allows this.





I CAN. I could do it for half that price for myself.

I expect this entire combination will be routinely capable of putting out over 400 FWHP without big risk of damage.





Actually, I can make a stock block duratec engine do this....
