Well at least it just got out of the shop and has a new head gasket, and a new radiator.

However like i said, who knows what else has been affected by the prior abuse maybe nothing at all and the 33k mile engine is ready to rip again, in any event tread lightly till you inspect or have it's guts inspected, will be well worth the money you will end paying to rebuild the engine or get a new one put in.

Summary of the car as I last saw it when it was owned by Jeff. Before that it was owned by someone that worked at Perrin I believe, prior to that it belonged to Jimmy.

-It had it's RC injectors which i believe where 1150cc, greddy turbo oil cooler, i never got a close enough look at the compressor size but was greddy and looked fairly sizable like a 25g. should be an ETS 57 trim, one of the prototypes. it had FIC1150s not RCs last time I tuned it

-The turbo timer was not set correctly and when the guys at the lot where driving it around they never used it. turbo timers are for girls or people who cant sit in a car for 30 seconds

-Claimed Stage 3 exedy clutch, felt pretty new when i drove it. was an exedy twin

-It did not look like the head had ARP studs but this was never confirmed, and if they replaced the head gasket i doubt they replaced it with performance head studs. pop the valvecover

-Did he get it from damerow ford or a wholesale auction ?

Well **** hopefully it can be brought back to good condition. Crazy the car ends up back in Eugene, owned by someone who watched me race jon's vette many times.
