Default Engine Rebuild

I was wondering if any body could point me in the right direction of a rebuild kit (if any). Iam gonna buy a complete 2.3t out of a 93 940, and I want to rebuild it. Ive spent the past 45 mins googling it, and I coulden't come up with anything.

I don't believe there is one complete kit. You have to get what you need like HG set, bottom end set, bearings, rings, etc. Then the fun starts.
Do you really want to do this? You can buy a B230FT from 93-95 940 Turbo for $500, or the whole, may be wrecked car, for even less. Such a car with say 150k has a motor in better shape (usually) than what you'll end up with after you spend many hundreds for parts and many hours of heavy labor. If you wanna do it as a learning experience I can see it, otherwise it makes no sense.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

it takes something really catastrophic to damage the lower end of these engines.

@levi more or less a learning experence.. been wanting to build something for a while now. I found a motor at the local junk yard for 400 bucks with 324k on it..

@pierce oh yeah, there beasts. the motor in it now has some piston slap, but still runs strong..till the boost tubes choke it (new ones will be here tomorrow)

I want a winter project, and i have more than enough time now to source everything then hord everything till the snow starts to fly.
