Yeah, that's what I said. It came off of a running vehicle so it's all good,
but apparently the turbo could be "better." The only bummer is that the 87
TBI 2.5L is pre common-block so it's got a 12mm taller deck height. If I
were to turbo this block I'd have to reuse the stock rods which are 6mm
longer and not quite as beefy as the turbo units. I'm researching what would
happen if I carved the 12mm off of it, and if it's all bad things I'll
probably just source a CB and go from there. It's not like parts for these
cars are expensive...

Indeed! The pics accurately depict the condition of the vehicle, which is a
first for me. Usually everyone takes pics that make it look good when
they're trying to sell it, not spend many messages going back and forth
talking about flaws and such. Tim made it easy on me for sure. Thanks Tim!
