I don't believe that had anything to do with the engine though.....

Thunders is right, a well build engine "should not burn oil" but with the oils control ring placement, the 402+ will be more likely to do so...

No, that was my fault for putting a breather filter too close to a hot turbine housing. Filter got saturated and eventually ignited.

Thats good power. What ET have you ran with this setup up here in Co?

I started buying parts for the 408 the bought a tbss.... Now I'm pulling the motor and built tranny out of the who selling the turbo kit.. Putting a stock 6.0 and 80e in and selling the ho.

That motor will get stroked to 408 and go into my 90 rcsb or a fox body....tranny is going into the rcsb with the 408 or I have an ls1 sitting in the shop and I'm thinking tvs either way
