so i just sold my 90 n/a and got a 88 turbo 5 speed targa, its red with clean grey interior...NO RUST!!!..so i got the car with a blown h/g but i am not going to rebuild it because i have a built 7m that i am putting in it...i will just keep the old 7m for back up...this week i am pulling the old 7m out and pressure washing the engine bay,painting stuff back to black, i want to spend alot of time under the hood and make it as clean as possible....so here is some pics to get me started....thanks for looking!!!

i think i am going to try to shoot for 400 to 450 horsepower....the 7m that i am going to be running has arp head studs,hks head gasket,pistons...i think the motor should hold up to around 500+...this is my first 7m build...from what i have understood...i could reach around 400 horsepower with a built ct-26...but correct me if i am wrong...this is my first 7m build so if you guys could help me out, that would be sweet...i might post up some ???'s...thanks
