There is a few of us here in FTW. Plenty of parts and know how. Good luck with the swap and PM if you need a hand.

Moddied MPI. Comes with the fuel rails as well. $300 plus shipping. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4137/4941643863_09c2a41ef7_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4075/4942228870_e9d7e386b8_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4942228904_301937265b_z.jpg

I love cats.... They taste great.

Sold, thanks.

I could let it go as is for $2300. Drop your block in and go. You'd still get.... Wheels and Tires 83 Hood FIP ECU Upgraded Interior w/ 86 belts Suspension Stereo w/amp Tranny AEM Wideband with Mallory Exhaust Perfect for a 4g swap. What I would sell separately... Hard Pipes Turbo /Manifold Magna Alternator Distrib Clutch Stock Manifold w/Injectors Head Boost Controller Fans Engine is still at the machine shop. I would sell it for the price of the rebuild.

Excellent. Good job Tim.

Engine is out and at the machine shop. Going back with cast pistons new chains and having the entire rotating assembly balanced. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4142/4824051618_699befb0ce_b.jpg

Tempting, but I need to think more about movin on. I will hang onto blue, but not need another project.

As it sits now.......... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4808295137_e918bc308b_b.jpg

Sorry bro, hehehe, its been posted since June 5th though.

I'll sell it for 3k without the 83 hood, but i throw the original back on it. $3500 with the hood. I've got to change out the head, working on it now. It will be back on the road in a few days.

Thanks for all the comments. Its still not sold, but getting more attention. Pulling the head this weekend on it and getting a rebuilt one machined. Then thinking about mpi perhaps, already got the FIP installed and a modded magna sitting in a box. Hummmmmm

Thanks bud, still dreading the day it sells. Then the start kicking myself for letting such a nice car go begins.

BUMP, not sold.

Shes got about 120k on the chassis. I can tell the difference between it and my blue car. The chassis on the blue one is pushing 190k, and by comparison the yellow rides nicer, rattles less, and the windows go up and down quickly.

Not sold, still sitting in garage waiting for someone to take it to a good home. But she is back on the road come monday morn.

Outside is not mint, but its a 10 foot car. It has hail damage, and the paint is tired in some places. Going down the road it looks good however. Inside is in good shape, just a little wipe down and vacuum and it looks great. Engine mileage and tranny mileage unknown. I got the car as a roller and used an engine and tranny from donor car. Compression runs about 135 each, and I installed new chains, guides and oil pump when I dropped it in. Running 16lbs daily, dynoed at 22lbs. The ecu is a FIP unit that was upgraded to do fuel and spark in one box, and autotune trys to change your ve table to match afr that you have defined. It works for a car that already has a good tune, for fine adjustments, not for tuning a poorly running car. Wheel bearing price might be a bit high. But I did bearings and races when I did them.

It is now listed at $2300 as a roller minus the engine and the parts I have removed as part of pulling the engine. Details at the end of the thread. 4k gets it. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3070/4563105808_151dd1e212_o.jpg Outside.... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4020/4660578135_6e580f8d82_b.jpg Inside.... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4040/4660103798_34d4bff661_b.jpg Engine.... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4660103664_23d84eb403_b.jpg Hatch.... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/4660103848_cf195b7299_b.jpg How much I have spent.... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4660103874_fd59ed5fe3.jpg That about gets it. There are many other small things that are not listed. Plug wires, plugs, bushings, mounts, pipes, ect are all new within the last 18 months. Thanks

This reminds me of my post.... http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99673

Off topic, but nice pict here idriftjunk, best shot of starquest I think I have seen. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1270429023-1.jpg

Thanks all for the kind comments. Its the "community" like this that I was trying to describe in the interview. Its hard to put into words, but it not just the cars that makes owning these so much fun. It the good peps that go with it.

True statement. I have sealed power hypers in mine. The engine has about 15k on it and dynoed at 306. 21 degrees of timing and 11.8 afr has kept it together.

Hey Tim, Thanks for the suggestion. Dang I was hoping somebody might say i had vac lines routed wrong or something, but I kinda figured it might be something like what you suggested. Oh, and I got the wheel bearings replaced. Was a bit harder to do than I thought but having the right tools goes a long way. Thanks for the help there too. John

All,, I just hooked up my cruise control and was a bit pleased when I turned it on and it held the speed as it should. The problem is that it will not disengage. That may not be a good description of what going on, what happening is that the throttle seems to be sticking. If I hit the brakes, it keeps on pulling, if I cancel the cruise, it keeps on pulling. What I have to do is get my foot under the gas pedal and lift up with my foot. If not slipping the car into neutral, and letting off the gas the rpms hold. I have even stopped the car, killed the engine, and restarted and the rpms jump right up. So, perhaps the actuator is no good or perhaps the cable. Anybody have an idea? Thanks
