Question for the list. I have a deal on a moderately used but in-good-shape motor. I'll probably pass on it since it'll be at least a year before I need one, but it's made me curious about how I'd recognize a good deal. Specifically, would I want an auto or manual tranny? If I intend to put on a turbo, am I better off starting with a 13BT or does it not matter (I'll probably follow in John's footsteps if his turbo works out)? I'm planning on using Tracy's ECU, but would the stock ECU be at all useful (some engines come with them)?

Regards,
Chad
