I scored big at the junkyard!

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I got myself a spare T3, an E6 manifold, the pipe that runs from the turbo to the throttle body, and the stock down-pipe, all for $27! You've gotta love the pull it yourself places who hire teenage girls to ring you out


Anyone wanna recommend a good rebuild kit? I'm gonna go back next weekend and hopefully if nobody else has picked through it (unlikely) i'm gonna get the intake and maybe the head, and then take those and have them gone through and ported, then rebuild the turbo and swap everything over at once. Then i'll have a spare turbo...i wonder what i'll put that on

You lucky sumbitch. Is the T3 and E6 in good shape?

Yep, no cracks in the E6 that i noticed and the T3 only has some slight shaft play, but it's probably getting the T4 hybrid treatment and a rebuild. Strangely enough my Merkur already has an E6 on it so it either came with it or someone got to it before me.

What year is your merkur because it might have come from the factory with it

'88...i think it was factory. Looks like it anyways.

why $27....why not $25 or $30

I got it all for the price of an exhaust manifold which is $21.99, then there's some kind of core charge that's a couple bucks and an environmental fee, it all rounded out to $27 and some change.
