easy possible, wouldnt be too expensine. bottomends are strong enough. best manifold to use is off a 200sx, chop the flange off and get a flange made up to suit your head. de-comp plate (not ideal but lowers your comp) can pick t3's up pretty cheap now. intercooler and finishing touches. could do it for 1k+ if everything went rite, which it never does

good look fella, there good engines
