What are the specs on the motor you are having built?

69mm crank 92mmforged pistons 044 heads hbeam rods 30mm lifters washboard 3qt sump intakes have been ported and polished y pipe from turbo city 48 mm turbo from aj simms with carbon seal and bearinged 40 sidedraft from fraklins vw works already turbo ready holley red fuel pump holley fuel regulator boost sensative copperhead gaskets ...we also are going to put about 7 to1 compretion on the motor so i can get into the 20ish pounds of boost,,,,

i had the 78mm crank and i also have a 84mm but i didnt want alot of stroke so im gonna build a better motor for rachels bug when i find it.......
