'86 GN 3.8 rebuilt

[griz_83ho]

Hey guys this is a motor I bought with the roller I also have for sale. My t type that I was going to put this in, is no longer in need of it. Motor was put together a year or so ago and never fired. Block was punched 20 and crank is still std. On rods and mains, just needed to polish. Factory rods with wiesco forged pistons and rings. Block and heads were both decked. Comp cam 206/206. Factory heads with some light porting and polishing and intake and plentium were both polished to match heads. Turbo was rebuilt and has no shaft play and isthe factory turbo. Water pump was blueprinted and has some light porting. Basically just needs a custom set of push rods due to being decked or adjustable rockers and intake put on and dropped in. Guy built motor himself and has owned the car for 18 years or so just ran on some hard times and moving and had to sell. Any other questions I can call him and find out but he put a ton of time into putting it together. Asking 2500 for everything I have for it.

Where's it located? 109 block? What kind of engine building experience does he have?
Thanks

I'm located in northern Illinois, and yes 109 block. He has been a mechanic for years and has built a couple in the past. With all the little things done to the motor I was comfortable. Like I said any info anyone wants I will be more than happy to get it. He did use original GM head gaskets on the rebuild because he said they were the best. Resized and smoothed the connecting rods. I will try to remember more.
