My TII Build

[batmanfc]

When I bought the car it had an oil leak. Thought it was coming from the oil cooler lines. Turns out it was between the rear rotor housing and the rear iron. Had another Turbo II motor so I figured I would put it in. Finally got the car to my dad's garage yesterday. Started getting the harness off and labeling it to get ready to pull it. Here are a few pics from today when I started.

Got the harness off. All that is left to get is the exhaust, transmission, and motor mounts unbolted and it will be ready to come out. Going to work on it some more tomorrow. Should have pics then too.

interesting I've never seen an army style Turbo two

[batmanfc]

Yea haha. I bought it like that. Not much on the color myself but that is the least of my worries right now. I'm going to probably sand it and primer it while I've got it in the garage. The camo is starting to peel in places.

This car looks familiar (how could it not!!)

Who did you buy it from?

[sen2two]

i also have seen it before... not in person though

[batmanfc]

I can't remeber the guys name. He lives in kingsport but he never drove it. He bought and it was sitting in his car port and he had it for sale so I bought it lol. I believe bought it from somebody in Greeneville, TN.

[sen2two]

maybe i seen it in a for sale ad somewhere...

[batmanfc]

Update as of today. I got the old motor out and got the other in but not bolted up. Had some things come up and couldn't finish. Gonna try and get it bolted up and wired up tomorrow.

Sorry about the crappy pic. Took it with my blackberry because I forgot the camera.

[batmanfc]

Once again another update. Got the motor in the car, bolted to the transmission and motor mounts. Gotta finish connecteing the wiring harness tomorrow and changing injectors over. Sorry about the crapp pic from the blackberry again. Keep getting in a hurry and forgetting the camera at home. More to come tomorrow.

Finally got it all in and finished today minus a few little things. Got all the fluids and everything in it today and started to crank it but it wouldn't do anything but hit a little. Started to get worried thinking firing might be off. Changed the plug wires around but just made things worse. Was smoking pretty bad out of the exhaust at one point but we kept trying. Motor hadn't been cranked in at least 2 years that I know of. Then finally it cranked but died. Did it 2 more times. Third times a charm they say. It cranked and ran. Timing was a little off. Set the timing and it idles on its own but high. Gotta check for vac leaks tomorrow it idles at about 3k rpms. Finally got it running though. Now for the pics.

Almost everything together.

Smoke I was talking about. Would do it everytime it fired til it finally cranked.

At least you got it running - thats good news. is the 3k just a steady 3k or does it pulsate too?

[batmanfc]

Kind of pulsates. Not sure what it is exactly. You have an idea?

[88turboii]

nice! the smoke could be just shit in the exhaust burning off
