I may know where there is a set of 4... sitting in my garage....in my way.

313 is in the middle of having the longblock built. Engine is out right now and i cant remeber the exact mileage as it site but its in the 150k's. During an oil change found some disturbing large peices of brass and iron. Tore the engine down to find the failure. I never did find any broken parts but rod bearings on cylinder 2 had heavy wear and cylinder 3 had started to spin. And a couple of sleeves had some flaking/pitting i didnt like. I dropped the longblock off with Ball Engine yesterday to get all the machine work done. The plan as of right now is mahle pistons, undecided on rods as of yet but scat or manley are likely. It will be a few more months before its back on the road. When its back up it will be with a turbo upgrade, leaning towards bnr 20g and a budget mic right now. Fuel system will be upgraded as well. Ideally for an e85 setup. Finally assembly will be done by myself but ill be seeking a pro for tuning.

$15k? i might have that much in it if i decided to do a turbo swap i got it way way way cheaper than he had it listed for. I would never have recommended anyone buy that car who couldnt work on it themselves or needed it to be their only car.

A couple of months ago i took #313 home to start its revival. It wasnt in terrible shape but had been in a sideswipe wreck a while back with some amatuer body work done. Timing belt had been done a while back but it was rubbing the crank guide. And the banks were 1 tooth off eachother. Lots of missing clamps in the engine bay. Mismatched tires and general lack of love. The previous owner needs to find a better mechanic that puts all the bolts and clamps back. It runs decent now. Turned a 14.6 on a soft launch at the dragstrip with just a tune. More repairs and mods to come.
