How about this(link) with one of the above turbos, a F.A.S.T. stand alone and some big injectors.

Don't forget that the 255lph pump and stock fuel rails won't support that power. Now you are looking at sumping the stock tank or fuel cell, new fuel lines, big fuel pump, new adj. regulator that accepts the new lines. Look at around $1000 for the fuel system. That is probably a conservative guess on the cost also.

I was just looking one Racer walsh, they sell complete 2.5 motors, thats what im looking to do instead of putting the internals in myself, are these good selections? What the difference between tall block, short, long?

The tall deck block was a limited edition(beefier, capable of bigger stroke) SVO part from the late 80's early 90's. No longer made and very rare. You're looking over $300 for a bare block.

Long block includes the head.

Short block is just block, crank, rods. pistons and such.

Check pricing with Esslinger or Race Engineering before going with Racer Walsh. They will have better quality.

Really good call to shop around...

Not that I'm anywhere near those power levels, but I have been doing my homework. I was in contact with a guy named Larry Widmer a while back and he recommended Race Engineering very highly. He also said, probably the most crucial part of a system like ours is a really efficient drivetrain. Light crank/rods/pistons, flywheel, driveshaft, balanced everything- That's going to make life a lot easier when you really start hausing. Lose less power thru those pieces, more gets to the wheels.

What every bird needs

There were 200 tall decks made. A virgin one just went for $1200 on e-bay and that was dirt cheap.
