Project Cheap & Nasty Updated With Back Story

This is going on your valiant? What's up with the motor in there now? I thought that one was a pretty fresh build?
Not a thing. It's about three years old. It still runs great. I want to get my feet wet with a turbo motor, because I want to build something more substantial. I figure a cheap and nasty stone stock build with good used parts and little cash outlay would be the way to go.
