Ron, sounds like a pretty good prospect. I did in fact get a car. However, now I'm in the market for an engine builder unfortunately...:(. Thanks to everyone else who replied also.

Does Arlington Machine or Watt's offer any sort of warranty on their work? If so, do they have to install and set it up in order to offer a warranty?

Charlie, Don went WOT. More importantly, he let me go WOT! I thought a tire had caught on fire at one point lol. Seems like Don's car has considerably more torque than mine. Definitely liked that. I may try to emulate his build pretty closely.

Yeah Charlie, we'll have to hook that up some time. Sounds like a good time. Kyle, good info. I have a couple of good leads now, it's good to have some options. Thanks!

Lots of good info here Charlie, I really appreciate it. I think Don and I are going to try and meet up this weekend. Looking forward to going for a ride in his car and picking his brain about his build. Will be in touch. Thanks again!

Sounds like Arlington Machine is the way to go. I'm not opposed to getting more power out of it, but my primary goal is durability and reliability....for the best price possible (duh, right?). Any ideas on what I might end up paying if I deliver the engine to them? Thanks for all the help folks!

Messaged you.

Yeah, good question. It started running rough and pushing copious amounts of oil through the breather, and obviously lots of smoke coming from the engine. I took it to Pioneer Auto next to Sonic. The guy showed me that my PCV valve was moving freely eliminating that possibility. He then did...

Thanks for the reply, Guess. As for Wayne Calvert, I just called that shop yesterday and the guy I spoke with said he doesn't want to mess with these engines. I suppose you just have to ask for the right person? $2700 sounds a lot better than what I would've expected but I guess doing the...

Looking for a referral for a shop in my area that can/will rebuild my '86 TR engine. I'm told I have a bad piston/piston ring. Recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

I just cried a little when I saw this....

Hey brother, didn't know you had these available...still got any?

Thanks for the info!

Thanks. Any thoughts on the T Type emblem question?

Links for both types being referenced as "hood emblems": http://www.kirbanperformance.com/product/52/Reproduction 3.8 SFI TURBO HOOD EMBLEMS (2) #6556.html...

I'm having no problem finding hood emblems in the marketplace, but confused on the 2 types available. Kirban Performance shows the emblems with black outline and says these are correct for all 84-87 TRs. But I'm also finding emblems advertised as NOS GM part #25519633 advertised as hood...

Retiring from the military and flying back to the states on 23 April. My reward to myself will be a 86-87 GN with T-Top (w/good, water tight seals), no rust, working power options (PW, PL, PS, cruise control), working cold AC, interior in decent or better shape that hasn't been hacked on...

I see it says mint condition, but just to verify, the AC blows cold, all accessories work, TTop seals are in good shape and doesn't leak?
