Thais damn cheap nice haul. I'll find this pic of when my dads employee was moving and they had a couch and a ton of crap jammed into a ford festiva. Had the couch hanging out the hatch and 3 matresses tied to the top

just pin the speedo on the rat it wasnt even braking asweat your going to love the whole upgrade to turbo thing

[moparfwdsleeper]

I will finally find out if that 2.5 tall block has the same oil pan as the 89+ 2.5 pans. They look the same so im thinking they are... If so the TI now has a oil pan with a windage tray!

And... I finally get to learn how to remove the balance shafts. This should be fun

Biggest perck is going to be the MPG its going to give me. Im hoping for 31 highway, it sure will beat the 20-22MPG i was getting when she was going.

The N/A engine BTW is out, its in the background of the last pic against the back wall(next to the CSXs original drivetrain).

You better be able to bring that beast to the hpac show. I am hoping my dad will get off his ass and get my car in the shop to time it *dont wanna attempt it myself* otherwise I might just be bringing the lebAron vert.

If I can figure out how to convert the 89 turbo mini engine harness to work on my 85 Omni dash harness I should be able to drive her soon. Still waiting to hear about our week to week schedule. Normally it's Mon-Thurs, but we recently scored a BIG deal with the nations 2nd ranking school bus market which was a deal for 1.2billion or so. Soo, that may require us to work Fridays for some time. If that happens I won't be able to make it as my weekend duties will be in crunch mode(you guys just think i'm always on here, part of my ninja secret LOL)
