was...86 turbo motor in 4kq....

[Rob Morse]

oh yes...........
i would DEFINITELY ensure the engine is in good repair.......:))
however..i'm not THAT horny for the turbo motor......
i was interested in it because a friend has a 5kqt rally car in need of front
sheet-metal and misc other parts...so i was going to go 50/50 for the turbo car
but.....
i have learned that he is instead building a 90 tq into a new rally car........
if anyone wants his old rally car........e-mail me and i will ask if he is
selling and for how much......
car is STRONG.....he was seeded 21st starter at the recent maine forest
rally(out of 115 entrants/107 starters.....)
 had an off and now the car needs repair...r/f is the worst off.........

anyway..i feel that i will pass on this 5kqt for now.......perhaps if he has it
in the spring i will offer on it................(i just bought a house and am
currently busier than a one-armed paper-hanger!!!

gotta run
rob
ps.....thank you to one and all who have kindly responded!!
