Well considering it's coming directly from Ligenfelter and not a 2nd party, do you think that's needed? Lingenfelter is a very reputable shop.

Are they giving you a warranty on the engine? The acution shows "reserve not met". Were you the high bidder and he decided to sell it to you?

What are you going to do with your original engine? Rebulid it for the "just-in-case" possiblilty?

Actually I'm going to sell my original engine as is. I have a few people interested in it.

Keep in mind that motor is for a Gen 2 and is normally aspirated. The motor I bought is for a Gen 3 and is built with supercharging in mind. I still only plan to put "stock" boost through it which is 6lbs-8lbs, and not go overboard. Even with that boost Tim at Lingenfelter says it should make at least 750hp to the wheels.

Actually, per your post, the motor was built for a turbo application. Here is the language:

"Competition Cams custom roller camshaft for turbo application".

Yes that's what they listed it their ad, but they also had in the intro to the ad that it was built for turbo/supercharger. Tim says that it will work great for either, and since the Paxton Novi is a centrifugal super charger and not a positive displacement or "roots" type blower it's basically a belt driven turbo.

Good luck with the setup..
