Racer Walsh 2.3 turbo shortblock

Has anyone purchased this from Racer Walsh? If so did you have any problems with it? Would there be any problems with running the factory head thats off my car until I can afford to go out and buy the rest of the stuff to complete the turbo swap.

Not sure but the compression ratio could be differnt on a turbo motor.  It might be less.  With the stock head and carb it would not make as much power as a standard block and pistons.  But I am just guessing on the compression numbers.
But it should run.

Yes, I do believe that the c/r is lower in the turbo motor, but i'm not sure how much. Do you think power would really drop off, and if so it shouldn't be much, should it?

I don't know exactly what the drop would be, but it would also depend on your cam and cam timing.  I guessing but I don't think it would be significant.  But agaian just guessing ??? because I don't know anyone who has done it.  If I was you i would call racer walsh and ask.  I have dealt with them and they are pretty helpful and don't mind answering questions.  Wish I could be more help.
