Bill what stall speed did you run with your PTE-54?
The only thing I'm missing is....
the lower intake and the headers. I would like to sell the engine complete (minus the lower intake and headers) for $800. As mentioned earlier, I may consider parting it out. It is a 118k mile engine that came out of my 86 and has never been rebuilt, had no problems and never blew a hg.
Frank, my 9/11 was marked 3500 stall on the box....but felt more like a 3200 to me. You get a 54?

Thinking of trying one out. After speaking with 2 Slow this weekend, he runs a PTE-54 and a 3K stall.
I need to try this thing out!

You are going to absolutely LOVE it!!! So when are we going to put a roll bar in that beast of yours???
WFO, I guess I should have been more clear with my description. Basically I have a long block. Valve covers to the crankshaft (no oil pan), no lower intake but I do have the upper plenum (doghouse) and throttle body with TPS and IAC, I have the front cover, but it is wore out and I would replace it if I were to use this engine. I do not have the turbo, downpipe, or accessory brackets. The long block is complete, std bore, std/std crank, stock pistons and rods, stock heads with Kirban valve springs, and a brand new roller timing set.
The engine had 118k miles on it when I pulled it out of my 86 GN. Originally I thought the engine was burning oil but it turned out to be the turbo. I got a great deal on an engine from Shawn in Idaho so that is why I now have this engine. The missing pieces went on the new engine (which is now in the car).
As for Turbo Thunder....last year I missed it because of a conflict in dates with my daughters soccer tournament, and this year, unless I find a TB real soon, I may miss it again. If you are interested in the engine, I could possibly send it down with one of the guys going from here, or maybe drive it down myself.

ABSOLUTELY NO ROLLBAR!!!!!!!!!!
I think Frank's a little concerned that SINISTR is about to pull next to him at the end of an innocent quarter mile blast on the back streets.
Actually I doubt it with my measly TA49 and stock convertor...but I might be close. Bring on the bigger turbo, Frank!!
