Default 92 S-Coupe GT Turbo part out

I'm parting out my 1992 S-Coupe Turbo. It has 255 thousand kays and it's all original/complete. The motor is good, the turbo will need rebuilding, and the interior is in reasonable condition. Anyway, hit me up with what you're after.

Yeah XGODZX, bit of a long story but basically







And Antony, it's a single cam alpha, but with oil squirters, different head/cam, different pistons, etc etc. It'd probably bolt in place, but I'm only guessing...

Briefly, I am back on four wheels now though. I could type many paragraphs, but basically the plan is:



-get rid of one thousand and one projects because they're each getting 100/1001 = 9.9% of my spare attention each.

-buy an EL falcon because I don't want to have to deal with the X3 ever getting yellowed, and an EL is magnitudes safer

-begin building my jet engine



That should keep me busy enough that I wouldn't be touching this poor old gal for a further two years at least. Nobody wants it, not even for parts... sad.

I know a old guy in Northam who likes tinkering with them , he's past 70 but still can rebuild his own engines though



By the way this is one of the wife's hobbies

Gnarly. Man I loved the shell helix fords back when I was like five years old and they were on TV.





I've been researching and like quietly building plans to do it, I'm looking at putting an actual design out next month and then it's on to some prototypes in PVC etc. Certainly has kept me guessing but I will be doing something car related with said jet engine once I'm done...
