Prefferably EFI parts sources, but let me know where I can find some parts, Fan blade to trans, I will need everything, but piece by piece also works.

I may very well need to convert my truck to a new power plant in the near future. :bang:

These guys have pretty much everything for the 2.3 turbo that is still available.

They are in Oregon but not near portland. They always seemed kind of grouchy when I asked if they could help me out with my turbo t-bird(their target sales are to the merkur crowd), but they had good prices and top quality parts.
 
lamrith, you probably won't want to pay for what I want for my svo :shrug:

It is literally in pieces and I don't want to part it out. I'd rather put it all back together and at least enjoy it. Or sell it to someone who would do that. It is a 86 SVO with no stock exhaust, stock turbo, and A/C.
 
Yeah I sould probably have clarified, I am basically looking for a stock complete or mostly complete motor to start with. not really looking to piecemeal an entire motor together, want a major chunk all together and running, adding small things here and there is ok though..
 
Hey if any one knows of any turbo cars people want to get rid of or donate let me know. Our poor hornet cars is under powered compared to the imports.

We would like to step up our POS race program. Even if you have a working carb/turbo motor you don't want we'll take it.
