Since ethanol is alcohol based, it should not cause in knocking/pinging problems. Most of the "octane boost" additives are cheap alcohol based products. However, the burn is not as hot, and that's where some problems with driveability, starting, and stalling may come into play. I think a...

Please call or e-mail me regarding 84/85 motor info. Thanks, David 389-0609 davidr@hawaii.rr.com

Now I know where to get POR-15 AND how to do an advanced search. Thank you kindly sir, David R

Anybody know where I can purchase POR-15 locally? Can't figure out how to search just the "Hawaii" forum with this new web format. Seems like it's been discussed before. 10-Q 4 da 4-1-1 David

Take a look... prices are fairly reasonable, too! kalecoaut

Fyi Sent private e-mails to those who responded... give me a reply or call. Looking for a complete motor with a solid bottom end. Thanks again, David

$5k/OBO...??? My priority is to liquidate the 87 TR and focus on a single build-up utilizing an 84/85 motor. Basic Info: Digi-dash; Scanmaster 2.0; 3" exhaust (no CAT); vacuum brake conversion; a little intake/plenum spacer thingy (don't know the technical name for it); replaced ignition...

My wife is making me clear out the "excess" projecs from our driveway. I've decided to let the '87 T go and keep another project. But, I need a donor motor from an 84/85 GN for a transplant. Anyone have any ideas? I'm even willing to work out a trade of sorts with my T-Type.

Bought a house a couple years ago and its taken this long to feel like things are "settling down" enough to put some focus (not Ford) back into the TR. Thanks for the warm reception to all!

I may take you up on that, Paul. I've always had poor compression from the #6 exhaust valve. Thought I would see what's available for upgrades, but I'm fine with a stock set-up, too. Rob, are you suggesting that I change the timing chain since the motor will be disassembled?

Going with a totally stock block, what's the best head set-up for the dollar? Or, should I just rebuild what I have? Not looking to break any records, just want something strong & dependable. Thanks. Consultation fees are available in 12 oz. bottles! David R

ouch... Nawww, no apologies needed, Rob. Just playing devil's advocate. I guess I'm thinking of the "Super Prix" that turned into a huge embarrassment (in my opinion) for Hawaii about 6 or 7 years ago.

What defines, "4 national-caliber events per year?" And what guarantee is there that these types of events will indeed take place?

Re: Kakaako Park Maikai bound on Cooke Street off of Ala Moana will lead you directly into the paking lot.

Saturday's are dicey for me, but I could do most Sundays. And, I live on the opposite side of Diamond Head and would be willing to host the staging/pot luck site if you're interested. David R
