ldk block is stronger than a lnf block. That's what everyone goes to when they start making more power. Your good.
Hope you didn't over pay for the k04.

I'm running an LDK block in a fairly high power setup since January and so far I'm very happy with it.

I hope you didn't pay $2k just for the block because last time I looked you could get basically the whole motor for that.

Zzp sells the hole motor for 2k and they also sell just the block ( lower part of the motor without the head ) if your saying it comes with a new K04 then you got the hole engine . Only thing your gonna need is intake manifold , throttle body , fuel rail and injectors and if your gonna use your old injectors get new seals first ...

This is exactly what I got with an added turbo. My current engine is totally screwed, no compression in cylinder 4. so I hope I ordered the right thing.

Cobalt4209 got it correct. You got the long block setup, or basically a whole new motor. You will need what he said from the old motor, plus maybe your old exhaust manifold, can't remember, as the ldk manifold sets a little higher.

I bought my long block from Jeffrey but mine came with everything except the wiring harness. Came with a K04, Opel injectors, intake manifold, TB, the whole nine yards. 2200 shipped lol. Granted is was a black Friday deal at the time. I have the brand new never used LDK head still for sale BTW.
