Default 2.3 turbo custom buildup

i know it has been about a million years since anyone considered building up a ford 2.3 liter engine, but i am going to accomplish the impossible. i am going to build up a ford 2.3 liter engine to about 400hp with a turbo/intercooler setup and make it a daily driver. ANYONE GOT ANY HELPFUL HINTS FROM BACK IN THE DAY OR CURRENT WISDOM.....THANKS A LOT

Take the 1.8 out of that piece of crap and use it as an emergency starter on a nice 5.0, and did I mention that kraut burners suck?
