Just curious after I have beatin on my resurected kat what my compression was and 180 180 180 180 on a motor that sat in a junkyard for 3 yrs out of a 1991 hb. I was very impressed!!!! I was afraid to even check before I put it in to my car. It only had 105K on it and that thang is factory specs, lucky parts car find! BTW anyone looking for some parts I will pull and all u gotta do is pay for shipping! only 10 days till I move!

You mean you put a used engine in your car without checking compression??? wow that is brave. I didn't check mine but it came from a running vehicle 5months prior.

You cannot accurately check compression without running it. But I could use the shifter console and radio bracket with pocket. Then, I need door panels, a radio harness cut, and a built KA-t ready to drop in. Other than the KA-t, can you help?

I took the head off of my motor and put it on the junkyard short block, replaced the headgasket in the process! I think I can get you the door panels if you want them. And possibly the radio harness. How much you wanna pay for the kat ready to drop in, I could pull mine???!!! for the right price!

I am sure it is more money than I have. What do you think about the other parts? Can you do the center console section?

I think the bracket is in there, the reverse harness I am pretty sure came out when I pulled the transmission for my 5 speed swap, describe it a bit and I will check.
