Hey Zenny, Pretty new myself but ill give it a go. I was looking into a r154 swap but it wast cost effective for me right now. Turns out to be a pretty penny since the engine and tranny dont bolt up. As for the engine, which year is your sc? It is said that the pre 96 engines can take the most beating, but who really knows for sure. I have a 92 Sc400 and im planning a turbo setup right now. I have no engine problems and this engine SHOULD be good up to about 10 PSI stock. Hope i helped a bit.

The 92-94 are the strongest.
