Haudi everyone,
	Does anyone know which version of the 5-cyl engine the 83' 5000 turbo has in it.  Is it the same as the newer models like 86' or is it the solid lifter version out of the URQ.  Or is it the old 2.1 liter unit?  Just curious as I need a new engine in my 4000q and am considering a swap for a turbo or if not at least for a 2.3L engine out of an 87' coupe.  I just want to know if this is a good engine or if I want the newer one.  There is an 83' 5000 turbo for sale here for 500 bucks.    
	I need a new engine because one of the casting holes in my block where the Alternator bolts up is broken.      Can this be fixed.  I doubted it could so have been thinking of the engine swap.  Besides, more power is better, right!
	ANy comments would be appreciated.  Thanks.
