I did get some pictures of a few parts. There were some parts which really do look like they were cobbled together (no offence).
Equally note worthy is that this SC head unit was run without a filter for a period of time (hence the desire for some specific pictures prior to commitment).
I expected if it was a good deal on a Murf SC "bolt and go" kit that it would be gone. I need to minimize projects, so that would make me a non-candidate for this.

Still with an '88 S4 parts car in the garage next to my dis-assembled race car But I do have a running and usable '90 GT (as well as my M3).

If I remember correctly from previous threads. Pottsiwebber bought this SC'er kit from Kevin Michaels. Kevin had bought it as a stage 2 kit from Tim Murphy and then gradually changed it to try to improve it's performance to equal that of a stage 3. Kevin decided to go w/ a turbo and sold the SC'er.

It started out as a Stage-1 kit that Kevin bought from Tim. It ended up getting modified from the initial Murf Stage-1 kit in various ways by both Kevin on his car, and then also by potsiewebber on his car after he bought the setup from Kevin.

What would be the advantage of using a GTS engine over an S4 or GT engine to make a stroker?

Just curious...

Block ID would still match for a GTS, otherwise I don't really know if it matters technically which 100mm stock bore block you start with, including 85/86.

Only real advantage in GTS vs any 5L block is that GTS block has three breather holes next to main bearings. This allows air to pass from side to side when pistons move up and down. This means slightly more hp. Usually GTS blocks have too thin walls for 104mm so any advantages they have can't be used.
