Default Max power of standard frs engine

Im converting a erst s2 to zetec turbo but ideally want an engine that ran prev and can take 360+ bhp with out going forged and risking 1+k's worth of rods and pistons, I've found a frs engine for 750 locally with 73k on it, is this worth it? Cheers!

£750 that will depend of the spec of the engine.

Also seen brand new zetec black tops on eBay twice in last year from £800.

standard RS internals will take 400BPH but to be safe most people change them about them about the 380BHP mark.
The engine sounds cheep to me depending on mileage and what is included ancillary's ect normally sell for £1000+

Hope this helps
