So after talking with a fellow board member, i got my hands on an 87 t-type engine. It needs a few parts to get it running. Its got heads with new valves, 204/214 cam, oil pan, and a few extra parts that he is throwing in as well, brakes etc. The block has between 42-68,000 miles on it and looks to be in good shape.
THE REASON I didnt go with the 4.1 is that the 4.1 was already mildly built and running. it didnt make sense to tear down a running engine, to have it in pieces. Its not as strong as I would like it to be, and in order to make it a turbo engine would require more work than what I want to do such as reinforcing the block around the head bolts and other sh*t.
So as of now the block probably need to be honed, checked, and reassembled. Powder, a former board member has been nothing but patient and helpful with getting this engine and hooking me up with some contacts in order to get this engine running. He is running a 4.1 in his IC engine and made a good few reccomendations.
Since the block is sitting in my bedroom, i have a deadline in order to get this thing done... so if anyone has the following parts let me know...
86-87 headers
intake
turbo
crank
flywheel
bearing
journals
oiling cover
and possibly valve covers
let me know... this list may change.
Pics will come later...
