hi there...... *lunatic*? is there a *fringe* to go with that?
this is Steve, Adam's dad,
the engine is a Turbo I, when I pulled it from the car it was running on three cylinders, burned no oil but #3 exhaust valve is burned so that cylinder is *going along for the ride*, it's been sitting on an engine stand for three years now, was thinking of purchasing a set of Turbo exhaust valves to ensure that they all would be good.
I do have a spare *287* head and had the intentions of pulling the top end off and doing what was necessary to get the engine running again properly, had thought about dropping it into a recent '91 Shadow purchase but more than likely THAT car will see a 3L mits engine. If it's wanted I don't mind parting with it, I don't mind assisting in the teardown & servicing to get it running again. The turbo still spins freely, the wastegate has since seized in it's bushings in the exhaust manifold but that's easily freed up. It's a complete engine, all accessories still bolted onto it. Being an 89 it has the 2 1/2" dia. exh. flange.
I have an '89 engine controller as well (SMEC), pretty sure it's the OEM #5249017 9lbs boost T1 controller, the sticker tag is unreadable.
