Made a decision
I have made a decision.After reading for a couple of days I have decided to keep almost everything on my 95 rs stock and look for a block to start building on.Where would be the best place to look for a block?I thought about a junk yard but is there anything I should look for in particular?I don't wanna have to take every block I come across to a shop and have it checked for cracks.Should I just try and find one from a buisness or out of a individual's wreck or what?And yes,I am going to build it for a turbo,not sure what size yet.

RE: Made a decision
if you are looking for just the bottom end than most 98% of junkyard blocks would do. when you pull it out take the head off and make sure there are no cracks in the old pistons gouges in the piston walls make sure the crank looks good by taking off the oil pan also make sure the outside of the block looks good. if all looks well you sould be good to go.

good enough,I'll start calling today.I decided to do this cause I just bought the car and I thought about selling it and lookin for a gst but they are hard to find here,plus the money from selling mine and the difference for the gst will be more than I can come up with quick so,I figure I will built the engine as I can.Thanks for the info

Good to hear, theirs nothing cooler than a sleeper, I would deff try a junkyard. Just becuse to ship a block costs about 3-4 hundred bucks... which is about the cost of one at a junkyard.
If your serious about going fast, make your own turbo kit, becuase you have a 95 its fairly simple. In all for a turbo kit that would kick *** (much better than hahn's, or star's kit) would run about 2500 if you did some ebay shopping.
