Eventually, once I actually get the engine out of the truck and get it apart, my plans for this block are as follows:

1. Clean and hot tank the block and head

2. Machining (if necessary, hopefully not)

3. Adding piston squirters (I believe the Starion blocks have these, which is probably one of the reasons why it's preferable to start with a Starion block)

4. Drill and tap for oil feed and return lines for the turbo

5. Balance shaft delete

6. New bearings, rings, oil pump, timing chain, and any other parts that got maimed or are showing signs of excessive wear...

I'm going to do some research on camshafts, I'm thinking something relatively "mild"...

I'm probably going to do some porting on the head and intake manifold, and I'm planning on doing a blow-through carburetor setup for two reasons: A boost referenced fuel pressure regulator is cheaper and easier than trying to find a Starion EFI setup, get it working in this truck, AND tune it... And I'm a rebel.

As for swapping to a different engine, I'm not going to unless I find a 4D55T for cheap.
