are you series ,mate . do you think a standard clutch will hold up to 450 rwkw . before I bought the engine and gearbox I talked to Jamie at forced performance about it and even he said just do it . now just one more thing (I would like to have 450 rwkw or near that output ) so I need to change the oil pump gears and valve springs as far as I know ,and I can do that my self

Totally cereal.

Those are the questions you ask before you buy the gearbox.

You don't buy an engine before you ask what turbo you should buy.

You don't make a big deal out of purchasing a valve tool while you're still tossing up what shifter to use

Work out where you want to end up - find someone you trust that will help you plot a roadmap - work out what you need to get there - do it.

Ignore anything contrary to what you know is right and what you are confident in

Only ask for stuff you are stuck on

Run that by the person you have chosen that you trust

Profit

Guys the fg engine and and 6spd are already set in stone as he has already purchased, and at the price he's paid. Pretty good deal. So let's just roll with it. He tows a camper as well so it's not all just about going fast, the manual will serve him well and it's what he wants having considered quite a lot of options. So let's just roll with it.

Like I've said before gunna you should be working closely with Jamie from this point nutting out the finer details as he will be tuning it. Don't listen to us lol....u know how the saying goes in regards to opinions.....I dunno if you plan to put the motor and box in yourself. But there is a good chance it will be making the trip to FPT on a tow truck if you do. Pretty sure there is going to be a bit of mucking a round tuning wise before it's even able to start making dyno runs let alone driving it a few hours to get there.

Pretty sure he's aware of that but if he gets the valve springs and oil pump gears changed himself that's a fair bit of coin saved there alone.

Fitting the engine and box will save a fair bit as well, more than a tow is going to cost for sure.
