Hey guys. Got a few questions. I have two fc's one 86 and an 88. both n/a. Both no motor. I would love to rebuild them however i am not experienced at these motors in any way. I have built trucks and hot rods but not this. I would like to know of a reputable company locally that can get me a good motor that I don't have to crack to check it out. I know of at least two.

Pineapple Racing
Corksport Motorsports

However I would like personal reviews. I will be doing the TII swap on at least one down the road as I continue to do my research. I was going to do my first one years ago when I had a killer income but my other projects dwarfed it. Now i'm starting with a new company. Now I have two. I just need good motors till I can build my dream machine. As it is I am currently stealing my wifes car and all my trucks get 10mpg or less. Any Local reviews both positive and negative would be much appreciated. Also anyone in the local area that could help me put them together would be awesome.

Still no answer. I'm just looking for someone who has used either of these companies. I know my n/a swap stuff. I just need a temp motor but I want it done right. It needs to be as reliable as a rotory can be. When I do my swaps I know that I will make mistakes but now it's just reliability.

BTW I know that I haven't posted often so I don't have the avatar or anything so some of you might ignore this post. But I do read quite often. And I want to thanks all of the guys that posted great info on swaps and diagnosis.

Pineapple is THE best based on what I've heard from the rotary community.

Although a pineapple rebuild will exceed in cost a TII swap....

It's not the tII that I want right now I just need it to be reliable cause when I do the TII swap I want to do a street port and a few other upgrades. So I just need a good install and good solid motor for a back up.

I'm going to number this so if there is any response I know in which category i'm missing it in.

1. Ok so this new job is taking off passed training. So I'm going to get the turbo motor from pineapple. I figure that i'll have them do all the internal work for now, 3mm apex seals heavier coolant seals. and have it ported. all the good stuff. Then go with the stock cheap turbo and move on up from there as the money comes in.

2. Eventually i'll put in a bigger turbo, FMIC. Rtek 2.1 i believe is the controller i'll go with(unless i find some horrible reviews). walbro fuel pump. upgrade the injectors with that. Is there anything i'm missing right now.

Also is there anyone in the local NW community that might have time to help me with this on the rare sunny day.
