Need a 87 intake manifold

Nick, about to start purchasing parts to do the conversion. Would love to get that pass side header.

Engine is completely dismantled. Time to order all my gaskets. I was hoping someone could help with a list of all the gaskets I need. I just don't like ordering then remembering I forgot to order the "intake gasket" or something like that.

"Who/ where is bison?"

Another question. Do you guys rebuild your own turbos or do you send them out to get done. So, as I've mentioned this is my first turbo car. But I know my way around a wrench. I've seen a few videos doesn't look like anything crazy. Just trying to get feedback on this point. Just in case anyone...

Is the timing tab of any use? I would think the timing would be adjusted by the ECM. Is this not correct?

Thanks

I'm guess it's the timing tab

I'm starting to get to a point that I wish I broke this down. Building a motor is sort of always the same. But where brackets and various accessories go is another thing. Is there something that will explain where all accessories go on a intercooler setup?

The only non metal part.

On the timing chain cover/ oil pump cover there is a small plastic "shelf" or tab. Looks like something is supported/ adjusted by it. What is that for?

I agree that I would use it. But I'm an impatient man so I modify things and correct things myself. But if you feel more comfortable sending it back then do that.

Harmonic balancer pulled and cleaned. Timing chain was removed as well as camshaft. Didn't get to do to much more. Was wedding anniversary. Didn't want to make the wife mad staying in the garage all night.

Maybe this is a obvious question. But why can't I use the valve covers I have. What's the difference between 84 & 87 valve covers? Height?

I love where this is heading.
