I have a na 87 gxl and I want to be turbo. At first, I was going to swap in turbo motor but after looking and finding nothing I decided I would go with a 6 port turbo. I opened my motor up after a failed coolant seal and found that everything was pretty rough. the rear iron was toast the housings are a hard maybe and the center/front irons show some pretty heavy wear. SO I am back to wanting a turbo swap and wanted to know where I should look to find an engine?

 

I think a rebuild to suit your needs probably going to be your best option but, if you are dead set on a running swap then i'd say you are already in the right place. Just keep an eye on the classifieds.

 

I am not dead set on a swap but after looking around for a few days I think you are right. I guess I will have to keep saving because I only had like 800 for the parts to rebuild the motor since I didn't expect to have to get new housings and a new iron.

 

goopyperformance.com ...... maybe

 

I found another really clean fc for 1100 but my dumb-a$$ left then engine outside in a snowstorm and now I need to rebuild that one... ughh. This one ran before tho so I am hoping just apex seals and soft seal kit

 

wow .... not good bad enough leaving it outside. internals rust pretty quickly good luck

 

What condition was the 1100 fc motor in
