Engine, Trans, ECU, hard to find? (turbo-II)
I was wondering if it will be hard to find the full engine, trans, ecu, uncut harness and all the intake hoses used or if I should consider buying a used but running turbo-II and use it as a donor car for my 510 project? Just in planning stages as I need to buy a 2-door first but I am very curious about what i will need to do because if I need to buy a full car I will buy it soon and drive it around for a while first. thanks!

much better off finding a whole car... if you plan to use the stock ecu (why??) you will have a hard time finding all the sensors etc. and to find a good harness that is that old is very hard too.
personaly I'd save alot of time and effort and use a haltech ECU instead of the stock one. then you could just pick up a j-spec engine. total cost around $2000 for haltech and long block engine. couple hundred more for a tranny.
