are you planning on fitting it first or rebuilding it? Getting the parts seperately could be cheaper and save you the time for stripping it down. If your going turbocharged on a 7a you need new pistons and conrods anyway and i've advise completely rebuilding the bottom end from scratch (including honing if the cylinder walls are slightly worn).

I only have 2 engines here and need one as a spare incase of any upsets sorry.
