Are you sure about that 367hp? I know a thing or two about 2.3's and Im not seeing that kinda power there. Did he mean 267?
No typo stock block is good for 450HP. 367HP at the wheels(meaning 400hp at the crank). 60mm turbo is big! That is why I got the truck for 1100 bucks he popped a head gasket after 300 miles. He had it on the dyno guy had no reason to BS me. Couldn't even start the truck cause it had a dead battery. I got it started today. Running rough but it runs.

Is the motor still using a factory ECM and the Vane Air Meter by chance?

LMAO I have no idea guys kids were screaming and it was 15 degrees outside when I picked it up. If you think he is a liar you can ask him about it. I was had no idea of the mods until I picked it up. I would have been happy for stock SVO motor. He had the engine built by local speed shop. It has a custom 3.25 sewer pipe. I am not here to argue about the HP even though you seem to have a hard on to prove what I was told is fabricated. I am just the messenger repeating what I was told. So since you are the all knowing 2.3 master you are probably right probably makes 50hp. Hahahaha He gave me a binder as thick as bible with all the mods. One day when I am not busy build 4x4s I will look to see what it has.

No no Im not here with a hard on. I was just curious about it because Im more of a 2.3t guy then I am an off road guy. And I dont claim to be the Master Know it all but I doubt you will find many more around here that knows as much as I do when it comes to these motors. 400hp is cookin for these motors and just goin by the pic and the little info I just didnt see it. I could be 100% completely wrong and thats fine. I hope someday you can post up a breakdown of the combo because its great whenever you can find a dyno proven combo.
best of luck with the build as it will be very different which I like!

I was a little nervous trying the new SAS kit on such a tough trail (anyone who has ran it knows it a gauntlet for any suspension just beats the piss out of you in my old Jeep I would be bed riden the next day not in my Fords I hardly feel sore) and then get there and see snow I was like well this took this trail up another notch! Everything worked great and only damage was when I slide off a rock and hit a tree. Put a small dent in the pass fender. It was a blast and will be one of best memories of running Chinaman Gulch. Most of the Jeepers were speechless when they saw the Mazda. It was a Baller all day! Made me a proud papa. Haha :)
