Pulled a NA 109 out of an 87 Limited the other day. Finally got it torn down and it had the rolled fillets on the rod journals, 100% turbo crank. This engine was beautiful, still had factory pistons, bearings and rope seals, and the crank was so nice I wouldnt hesitate to buy new STD brgs and drop it in!
ODO had 93K, car had a shredded front R tire and a smashed front R side. No rust, even the floor pans, it was apparent this car was well taken care of. But since the yard moved it around with a back hoe the body took a beating.
I paid $250 for all I could strip: Engine, tail lights, tilt column, vac brakes, various int & Ext trim.
I asked the guy to hold it for me, and then a month later I was thinking of telling him to forget it because I was lacking funds, motivation, and space...glad I didn't.
