Kendall- Are you going w/ a rev kit or a gear drive by chance. I just found out today that Oddy's machined the block wrong for the gear drive and I m not really sure where to turn at this time. I need to come up with something cuz my goal is to have the motor complete in 10 days or so. Thats from oil pan to 90mm TB to both turbos. So feel free to come down and help Kill drop in and chat 2nite.
Gotta jet take care all.

Yes I admit I have thought of going "the easy way"(flame suit on)with the 86-87 setup,but on the other hand if the kit works and is reliable then it's a no brainer.
Where can I find out how spearco intercoolers hook up to 84/85s? Pictures would be preferred.
Definately interesting in terms of what could be done with GN1's and a nice billet roller and big turbo/intercooler/converter combo. 10's on a TM'd hot air should be possible eventually, we'll just have to see who hits it first.

Clearly your not the one swapping in a '87 T motor into an '84 GN with the "Hot-Air" harness. It isn't a no-brainer swap! It has been a challenge to do this... hand tools and a two-car garage.
I wanted to do it because I too assumed it would be easy... ha ha ha... yeah right! This has been nothing but a pure pain in the ars. There is no information out there posted for somebody to freely copy... and I have had to search for information from those who pulled off this "no brainer" swap.
If it were me it WOULD be a no brainer.Reason being, I would have obtained the proper harness and done it right the first time preserving my original harness as well.Sorry,no spaghettti under this hood,easily worth the 500 dollar price tag IMO.Postons sells 86-87 harnesses maybe you should take a look,it may make it a bit easier on you.

Why spend $500 on a harness when you can move wiring around (with some effort), and after accomplishing some research to find out the previously unknown differences between the year groups, why not then share that info with an appreciative community?
It is important to protect the value of the vehicle to most also,have'nt you ever had anyone tell you"save all your original parts"
