    The engine bay is clear. I took everything that wasn't scrap or part of chassis.

    I guess the next question is what to do with it. Do I go for a 3.8 stroker with 6g75 crank? Perhaps a 3.8 with 8.5:1 pistons and 16t turbos or I donno? Perhaps save it for a rainy day

    1. Check bearings and all that good stuff and if it checks out good drop it in a SL and drive.
    2. Rebuild/Low compression pistons, big turbos
    3. Stroker
    4. Sell it
    5. Rainy day

    what car do you have? if it's a SL then just change bearings+give it a clean over throw it in and be done...if a VR4....depends on budget and what you want to achieve.
