Any of you guys interested in those motors, let me know. He's an old co-worker of mine and a fellow boost-head has a little engine importing thing going on.

They are dirty from sitting around for so long, but look pretty clean internally. Turbos are crap and I would recommend getting rid of them upon taking ownership.Quote »is that in miami?[/quote] Yes!Quote »also...would accessories like p/s pump and a/c compressor and alternator, etc... off a fwd car work on my rwd CA?[/quote] With modifcations, yeah! Right out the box, no!
