Sounds like your well on the way. What turbo, int etc...are you using? Maybe you can hit the bone yard for parts? Would the T bird turbo coupe stuff work maybe? Have you looked at ATR for parts? They are expensive but very good. I spent lotsa cash with them in my old GN days.

good luck bro!!

I'm using a '78 Buick 231 turbo from a Regal sport, but running an external wastegate, and blocking off the old internal passage ( I don't have the swing valve or actuator ). I bought a lot of goodie parts that I relle didn't need. 1.65 Roller rockers from Yella Terra ( Australlian import ) is among those parts. also a billit dual roller timing chain, Comp cams sells a single roller that would have worked but, I decided to get the good JP performance ( Australlian Import ) timing set. I could have just run a off the shelf Isky cam, but I bought a custom 224/224 .495/.495 ( figured with 1.65 rockers ) from Clay Smith Cams, which has 4* of overlap and should render 300 HP @ 5,500 RPM. the pistions are Speed pro, but not for a 200 6, there actully Ford Tempo 2.3 4cyl High swirl flat tops, .030 over. The 2.3 shares the same bore as the 200 6, they are moderatly related. the cyl head is a later model D7 casting head, bigger ports and valves ( also bigger chambers ). compression will be 8.35:1. the distributor is also a later model, it's a DSII and I will fire it with a MSD 6 BTM which I have.
