I purchased an '85 HA engine off of ebay for installation into my 1962 Buick Special station wagon. (When it's further along I will add it to the Hybrid section). Originally I was going to install the HA engine into the car and do some mods to the HA setup. Due to hood clearance and manifold clearance issues, I am slowly gathering parts to swap this over to an intercooled engine. That's just a quick run down, but when I drove quite a distance to pick up this engine, i saw some things that were not shown in the pictures.... for one there is more orange RTV sealing the intake than one tube could probably hold, the turbo adapter had a hard grey plastic goop dripped all over it, probably because the o-rings on the adapter were chewed up pretty good. But my favorite sight to see was the awesome weld job on these stock headers..... Helen Keller says it all....
