Re: Stuff FS



What I have is a mildly wrecked (passenger side rear) 85 CGT that is for 
parts. I am in contact with a salvage yard that might take the Coupe this 
weekend (including a good motor and tranny). I also have a 5k turbo motor 
from a salvage yard, therefore not certain of it's condition. I am purchasing 
an URQ motor (used) to replace the bad motor in my URQ. Hopefully the swap 
will take place this weekend. The motor coming out of the URQ has a bad head. 
I'm not sure of the block and bottom end condition. I had it running, but 
could only get 93, 60, 92, 93, 93, compression reading from it, and couldn't 
stabilize the air fuel ratio. I pulled the head and the machine shop found 3 
cracks between cylinders and the exhaust valve on #2 had a hole burned 
completely through it. Rather than risk going through all this and find out 
later that the bottom end is bad, I'm opting to replace the entire unit.
So what I have is;
    5KT motor with manifolds, and turbo (no starter, harnesses, or other aux. 
parts,  and no certainty as to condition, although the cross hatch is still 
visible on cyl.     walls)
    
    URQ block, with crank, and pistons (unsure as to condition)
    CGT chassis, with motor and tranny (most all parts stripped and in my   
basement)
CGT window lifts are gone, as are driver window glass, rear window & wiper, & 
shifter. I am keeping the dash, and a few other items. The interior was gray 
fabric and in very good condition. All located in SE Denver.
Anyone with needs please advise.
