    ok, im looking into where to buy a good crate short block to hold up to twin turbos or possibly long block with good heads. Does anyone have ideas where to look. ive been in to mags about it and ive been on what sites i can ( on base in kuwait they have alot of stuff blocked).What do you all think would be an ok price to pay?

    For that much power I would have to build it. But if I had the money than check with this company. They do alot of boost engines, but I don't think ther cheap. http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/

    I believe Nelson is mostly a Brand C shop.

    What area of the US is the car in? There are a lot of Ford engine builders that you can work with to design and build what you need.
