freebird Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) With some recent thought I am getting rid of my 87 as a roller.I figured why not try and sell the engine since I am looking at 3 other engines in my garage anyways. I got the engine as a short block, head taken off because of gasket fail, with a car I bought.Owner was tired of putting money in the car and wanted it gone. The engine was bored .040 over rebuilt with nice new parts including the head.he said the water hose by the firewall caused it to get hot after driving it on the rebuild for a few 1000 miles.Towed it home and took the head off cleaned the coolant out of the cylinders and sold it to me. I just recently took some pics of the inside of the engine and the 1.00mm stamp on the pistons and made sure it was a good shortblock.I installed the 9116pt felpro head gasket and as you can see in the pic, that gasket almost matches the bore of the cylinders.9116pt gasket bore is 3.6673.586 std g54b +.040 ='s whats left as you can see in the pic. If you are close by or want to bring your roller here. I will install this in your car and be sure it runs.The engine for 1000 can also come with the 87 trans.It has 89 flywheel and clutch which is all great.Also injectors/intake a cracked ex. mani if you want it but no turbo. Head is a jet head with hyd. lifters. This is a smokin' deal for a almost new engine perfect for someone wanting to build an MPI car.You can not build one for this price!But I do have a use for it, so Im not beggin' anyone to buy it.I would just rather build my .030 over block right now which would clean up the garage a little(if you have been to my place you know..lol) most recent pic, pipes are not for salehttp://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/jaybirdskate/h1_zpse17a359f.jpg before any cleaning.http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/jaybirdskate/p2_zps57fe338b.jpghttp://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/jaybirdskate/up5_zpsc18a9420.jpg http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/jaybirdskate/up2_zpsa07a3cfa.jpg http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/jaybirdskate/up1_zps231faed1.jpg http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/jaybirdskate/p1_zpsd3e53250.jpgwith new gaskethttp://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/jaybirdskate/42_zps83d42227.jpg engine IS in the car and you can test drive it.I wanted to try and sell before I get rid of the car.I will update this post when I change something.
