Hardto give many specs are they vary in hp for turbo vs n/a. I went the n/a route as the turbo motors are expensive and are only good till like 550-600 ish rwhp. Bettter to buy n/a and build a stout bottom end.

It's the shipping that gets you as it's expensive. I shipped two of them for the same as what it costs to ship one.

What's the aftermarket parts like? Everything have to be shipped from the Aussies or is there a US version that parts will interchange for the build up?

The parts they sell over there are made by companies over here. Crower rods and CP pistons. I don't know about basic parts but can't imagine ford redesigned every part so i'm betting several of the standard parts will work.

Pretty cool swap idea, man. Kudos for taking that approach! Love to see it as it unfolds.

Probably a different one. This one is his baby, and I doubt he'll ever get rid of it.
