hey everyone, firstly i apologize if this has been asked before.

secondly a little background:
i've had my 87 tII as a rolling chassis for months now, and i'm just now getting around to building it up. i recently bought a shortblock from user meddle(which i'm waiting on) which i'm going to rebuild. i also just got the turbo/manifold locally from donald(not sure of his username).

thirdly, basically my idea for now is, since i dont want to have to buy and find so many parts and whatnot, i was thinking about just bareblocking it.
my only concern is, that if i decide that i want to un-bareblock it and put everything back in sometime down the road, would this be a do-able/wise idea? it just seems to be so much less of a headache right now to go right to bareblocking it.
any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Bareblock? What are you talking about? Please explain as this doesn't make any sense to me.

emissions removal.

yes it's doable, that just depends on how you go about doing it.

i'm curious to what ways i could go about doing it? i've never actually bareblocked an engine myself, just swapped one into another car.

Here you go, can't get much better than this. http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/
Go to the tech section and you'll see s4 turbo emissions removal.

that term could mean 2 things, either you want to remove the emmissions or you want to remove the accessory bracket from the motor... Or both. Either way. If its emmissions that you are thinking about putting back, then I dont recommend it. If its the ac/ps bracket then yes its doable. I did it tomine.

actually, yeah, you basically answered exactly what i was looking for, haha. i figured i'd remove everything emissions sometime down the road anyway. thanks martin, and thanks gerbraldy for the link
