1987 turbo two motor re-install?
I am thinking about buying a turbo two shell that all it needs is a turbo two motor and I have one to buy that is still in another car that will be doing a swap so he is selling the motor. I am wondering how hard is it to re-install the motor and get it ready to drive. Also, I am thinking that I might buy the car and motor for $1800 and I am wondering if its a good deal? the motor and tranny have 70k miles and the shell and motor are s4. thank you

Go for it, just be sure you know what your buying!
I say do it!
Just make sure you know what your buying. If you put your mind to it, you can do almost anything.
70k is getting up there... but with good care could make it too 150k.
I got a running TII for $1900(didn't even know it was a rotary) but 3 months after I bought it it blew a coolant seal and then sat in a barn for like 3 years. so....

it will be at Jeffs executive automotive. He is just off canyon road in puyallup, washington. I hear he is pretty legit. I was wondering the motor i am looking at is s4 70k miles and turbo two. The person is asking $1000 and it will come with motor, tranny, i think the driveline and the engine wiring harness, but he needs some of the sensors from the wiring harness and im not sure if that is a good deal or should I offer like $850 or so?
