lol, bulletproof motors don't exist. They will all break at the weakest link, and there's always a weak link somewhere.

Check out On3Performance for a turbo.

And anywhere from $4000 to $20,000 to make the motor somewhat reliable.

There's also bone stock Mustangs with run FI with no problems at all. Can't explain the ones that do it. A good tune is a must for longevity though.

more money than you probably want to spend....................dart block to start and no cheap azz turbo stuff such as on3.........if I'm building a stock block turbo build, then heck yeah I'll opt for on3........good aftermarket block and all good parts in it.......on3 wouldn't be my choice
