my new mint FB
Found this mint 1983 FB. It has 120,000 original KM on it (70,000 miles) and the only issue is the engine "appears" to need a coolant seal based on seller feedback. It was pouring sweet white smoke out the tailpipe at idle and while driving. I did a compression test and all is good. maybe I'll get lucky with intake O'rings? Who knows, I paid my deposit and the seller agreed to keep it stored in his garage until spring.
All original paint, air conditioning, no power windows, never winter driver, nose is perfect as it hid under a nose bra for 20 years..
Notice the perfect original condition of the window trim...

I already have a well modified FB so I want to maintain the stock appearance of the car as much as possible. Even if I do a 13b transplant I would maintain the rats nest, factory air cleaner, etc etc so all aspects of the car appear unmolested.
I know of a FB I could get for a song with an old school 4 port 13b. Tempted to buy it, do the heart transplant into this one, and sell the shell and weber with lake city intake so the transplant cost is nil. Especially since the 13b has a 13b to 12a manifold adapter so I could retain the nikki on mine.

Start to finish progress pics for sure. Intend on a full compounding and polishing. I may try block seal if it is a coolant seal so I can enjoy the car while I plan and build the replacement engine for it.
My desire, is an old school draw through cartech turbo...then mock up the factory air cleaner to fit so it will perform yet preserve the original factory appearance.

Maybe I'll score a GSLSE suspension swap at the wrecker this winter some time??
Just by coincidence over the past several weeks I scored a sunroof ($30) and wing ($25) from the local pick-n-pull. I do have 2 complete 13b exhaust systems with headers in my shed too. Just need to find that $20 12a header score too!!

Dude, go ahead and give Alumaseal a shot. It's a radiator sealant, so it doesn't gunk everything up like a block sealant can. I haven't had a single issue with it. 20k and counting, motor still running strong. You can't beat that for $4.00
