i might be getting a KA-T motor with 6,700 miles on the rebuild and it needs

crank (i have one)
FMIC
piggyback/stand alone
downpipe
turbo elbow
and a tune

the motor has

bottom mount manifold
garret t3/t4
forged pistons and rods (9.0:1)
bearings
rebuilt head
SR injectors
z32 MAF


he said he will take $300 for the motor. my question is can i put my

header
injectors
and MAF on it and run it as an N/A until i get the money for everything it needs??? because my motor is going south fast

and would there be any kind of hp gains from having forged internals and a rebuilt head???

300 for a motor that needs a rebuild and has been rebuild before it a no for me. You said it needs a crank also you will need to check if it needs new pistons or if it has oversized pistons. I say find a different motor.

Why don't you go SR? KA is a good motor but I believe that the SR has much more potential.
