 18rc Rebuild & Turbo homejob

Many people would read this and wonder what the hell we are doing.
BUT
The idea is this.
We, being Stradlater and Fattony
have amongst us, three ra23's, two of which are our 1g-gte cars, and the other is going to be our prototype car.
In addition to this, we have 3 18r's in various condition an 18r auto and an 18r manual. Fattony also has his ct12's off the 1g.
The plan is to pull down all the 18r's and rebuild a good one out of the three, and possibly use 20r crank to stroke it to 2.2 or something, and then put back together a rebuilt, pretty well running 18r with a bit more go. We then build an exhaust manifold to fit the ct12 or two onto it and plum that through an intercooler and bolt the cooler (which will be free by the way) onto the front of the car somewhere, and we'll have ourselves a turbo'd 18rc. it should be a heap of fun and will really probably move for a home job.
hell, we may even register it.
Anyone got any suggestions other than the stereotypical "why are you wasting your time" because I've already got the reply to that one.

I'll take any 18r I can get.
It'll be a long time in the running, but it'll be fun.
