What would be needed.



I'm looking at buying this amazing bodied 87 fc very close to me. For up north there is physically no rust. It is an na car so I would look at getting a turbo swap down the line, but for now I was wondering what I would need to get her up and running. Is it worth to buy a parts car? Includes driveshaft. I know basics. If anyone can tell me if this is the right section of the fourm or not, tell me. Thanks a ton.

Not a FC owner, but generally speaking, looks like you would need the entire engine assembly and trans.

yeah you need, obviously the engine, and transmission. radiator, some kind of fan (engine might come with). its missing the heater pipe, and all the air cleaner brackets. the AC is gone, as is the power steering pump and lines (pump may come with engine). brake booster, and evap pipes are missing. the way the brake booster is setup it looks like it may have been turbo swapped before?

none of it is/are deal breakers, but you will be spending a lot of time looking for odd little bits
