unfunnyryan Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I hope thats a typo and you meant something much larger than $500. Or a typo on the mileage. What do you have planned for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have planned for it? No typo. It's a replacement for the one I currently have that has a wiped thrust bearing. I'll use this one to get the car alive and fun for a while and use the other for a 250" stroker with girdle and good internals. It's going in a car... truck... thing.

kenny Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 How the hell did you pull that off? Mostly luck I think, it was posted in the hot air section of a Buick board, so not many people saw it. It was local, too. ... and before you ask, hot air = 84-85 non intercooled cars. The block/heads/crank/rods are identical. The only real difference is the oil return from the turbo on a hot air is in a diferent place, so you either have to drill the block or the pan for an oil return. Otherwise, everything from an 86-87 bolts up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Did they strip it out of a gray T Type? It's been 5 or 6 years, don't you think it's time for a new joke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 It's been 5 or 6 years, don't you think it's time for a new joke? Maybe, but short jokes aren't funny. Drinking jokes would be just as rough on me. Wrecking bike jokes aren't jokes at all. Easton worker jokes are pretty good, but then again, those would also be about me. That only leaves stolen cars and El Caminos, and I like El Caminos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect a PM sometime about a certain El Camino... I think I'm going to have a few questions about the motor in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Good. Someone should have asked me about it before other people did whatever they did to it. Nice comeback. +Rep. Poor 355. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure they're probably as hard to find as any Turbo Regal. Depends really. Mostly stock rebuilt ones $1,500+ Totally stock massive mile ones basically what I paid, but that's just a long block.
