I dropped some ATF in cylinders 1-4 and ended up with around 300psi, so I think I'll hang on to it. At the very least it'll be good for parts and mock up. Most running cars are going $2500+ around me, and good used engines are around $2k. I don't doubt with enough patience I could come across a good deal, but this engine was a pretty smoking deal, even if it's less than ideal. Also, I'm not opposed to going through this engine.
I'm not looking to do anything too wild. I don't know much about these since I've been fooling around with my OM617s and the OM603, but I'm hoping for at least 300-350WHP with 7.5mm pump and HX35.
