im leaving the atx alone, besdies a trans cooler. ive talked a bunch of shops and they say it should be fine with the power goals i have in mind, as long as i dont burn out all the time of course. i dont think ill have much of a problem getting it in in 4 weeks. i would say one night on finishing the motor. crank and pistons are already in and torqued. pulling the old one shouldnt be a huge deal, prolly a weekend to do it. and im planning on driving with the new one for a week or so then throwing the turbo at it. but while its down im going to do all the fab work, or mainly the manifold and some of the piping. its gonna be fun! ill try to take lots of pics too. also mine broke a lil after 116,000, and i also have an oil leak somewhere which might have helped that belt break.
