This might have been a bad idea, BUT

It took all day to tear apart that engine. We knew the engine was ruined from not having a hood on it for who knows how long at the salvage. It had water in it. One cylinder wall is heavily pitted from water. The pistons are stamped 040. I pulled the main caps and it's 10 under. The crank is cast instead of forged. When I pulled a rod cap, I found the knock the salvage owner said it had. It's no big deal, I bought it for the extra accessories and the aluminum intake.

I plan on going back to the U pull salvage looking for finned valve covers. The head casting number off the 83 model engine is 8253 or 8263. Can't tell if the 3rd digit is a 5 or 6. Are these heads good ones?

Picked up some old magazines from 1978 and 1979 on the turbo Century at ebay. HotRod actually modded one in three issues so I grabbed all three. Car and Driver and Motor Trend road tests it. What can I say, I like reading old mags. The coolest cover goes to,,,,,,,

Went today to clear out stuff around it. Bad news is the carb he thought was in the trunk is missing. I'm not sure whats different about a draw through Q Jet but I need one without computer controlled stuff on it

These 78-83 Turbo Regals are draw through. It's different from blow through
