When I got my car (86 n/a), it came with an 87 na. It's pretty much trashed cosmetically, the interior is useless. I was told that it ran when the previous guy got it. I can't figure out how to be sure the engine isn't bad. It's more than likely got some good engine parts on it, but I don't know if it's worth keeping. Should I try to part the engine out? Or is there a way I can tell the engine is good? If the engine is good, I was thinking of selling it, or if I got wiley I could take it apart to learn some stuff, but that would more than likely never happen, and if it did, would end up in a junk heap. Your thoughts are appreciated.



I also never checked to see if it had been stolen, considering one window is smashed, and the head wires were cut. And most interior pieces are gone.

Part it out!!!!

I might need some **** off of it..lol...

Pull the motor, streetport and rebuild it, then SELL IT.



Or pull, port, and rebuild the motor... Put it in your car, and do that with the motor from your carr... And sell it.

That sounds nice, except for the fact that I have little funds, little skill inside motors, and I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I'm assuming that would be costly, right?

Hmmm... Not TOO bad if you do it yourself, and the motor is in good condition... In the end, you'd make out either way.

And is there a way to get this moved to a productive forum? I meant to post in 2nd Gen.

HELP!!!! MODERATOR!!!!!!!







Speaking of which....

Let me put it this way: Am I looking at hundreds or thousands?

moved to the 2nd gen section



mike

you da man

any input is appreciated

i think parting it out would be the best step, or build it into some sort of racecar



mike

part it out...



trans, diff, wheels...



I might be interested in the intake manifolds/plenum etc... for some porting experiments.

Which 2nd gens have the LSdiff? Heck, I'll part it out if you want parts.

it's an optional part, i'm not sure which models if any didnt even have it as an option... you can tell usually by looking at the diff from behind underneath the car, if theres a tab off the fill plug that says use lsd fluid only.... it's a lsd.

id rebuild it myself, so at least i can learn from my mistakes and get to know those rotors a little better. but hey thats me. u can sell it and use the money to add more stuff to your car

cool...I'll check it out

I'd love to do that...just gotta find the time, money, space...

u can do anything u put ur mind to
