The reversed manifold looks stock which is awsome and i get to keep the A/C

How come you didn't sleeve the block as your going for big power?

Paul, i bought the complete engine off al so it was already assembled. If the need arises it will be cheaper it labour then ripping apart a perfectly good engine :)

paul, can you pls explain to me (in plain english if possible :o ) about this "sleeve" thing thx.

sleeving just lines the cyliners with strong iron liners that means it can hold more boost
well thats as far as i know anyway which isn't all that much :P

Yeah basically thats it. Stops the cylinders from flexing which the 2.5's are prone to at big boost levels.
