I was walking throught the junkyard the other day and came up on an '87 turbo coupe. So I bought the intercooler, Vane meter, and a taller inteake off of the XR7 that was there, but the 35 pound fuel injectors looked perfect off the t-bird and I dont know how they ended up in the tool box on the wqay out...but thats beside the point. Also, the fuel pump ended up in the tool box also and I was wondering, will the one t-bird pump be able to delete the external pump on my SVO. I plan on running 3/8 steel line to the motor. But I also picked up a y pipe and I cant run duals unless I get the external pump moved. Also, does anyone see a problem running 3 inch exhaust with no converter into the 2.5 y pipe into 2.25 duals with dynomaxes or should they be 2.5 all the way through. I want power and good looks so any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your references to "in the tool box" seem to me to indicate that you stole said items.
And if that is the case, it seems to this reader that you want some kind of positive reinforcement for it, like "cool" or "right on" or something. That's kinda pathetic.

"Be thou not deceived for God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap."

Hope you enjoy getting stolen from, cause it's gonna happen. Just give it some time. I know.

Now see, people jump to conclusions like the first guy that responded and he had to act like the big shot that has never done anything wrong. Notice the title of the post...STUFF I FOUND, now it may be pathetic to you because, being the perfect person you are, have never borrowed from the junkyard with no intention of returning it. Or better yet, Ill return it when Im done with it, ok? Now lets see why I borrowed from this particular junkyard. 1.) Tore fuel line pulling into the parking lot because of insufficient gravel along the road. 2.) Had to pay for the repairs, which was fine, but the guy didnt even care about my car that sat there all night until I could fix it. 3.) You say I'll get stolen from. OK, lets talk about my convertible top motor that was stolen from me. Well...it was stolen. The way I look at it, pay for all your things and still get stolen from, maybe never before, but you might get it in the future and secondly, It seems like all of these parts get stolen and get bought so its like one big circle and everything gets recycled and repayed for again and again.
Hey, freakintiger, wanna buy some 35 pound fuel injectors?

Cool.

I STOLE a set also and made $56 on ebay. I don't feel one damn bit of guilt.
Please yourself first...

And how does stealing injectors turn into a damn religous ceremony?

I was always told anything you can fit in your tool box at a pick and pull is a no charge item. I guess the roll away is a bit extreme (NAHHH).

"FreakinPastor" has been spewing his religious beliefs on everyone's post's lately. I am getting tired of it. I don't read everything on Stangnet and Turboford so I don't have to go to church and believe me I read everything. I read it for the auto tech and what not. We all have our own beliefs and this is not the place to hear about your's. So keep it auto related and you won't get these responses! SVOconvLX85 that is a nice find, you will never find an unmolested TC in our yards. there are too many turboforder's in my neck of the woods. The injectors are always gone, I guess we call them pocket item's for a reason.
