worth grabbing ?

[spidereyes]

I found a complete 79 turbo Riv at a local yard and was wondering if I should bother grabbing the engine and related parts. Odometer shows 96K and everything is there, the turbo also appears to be new. I know that the intake and exhaust manifolds are Riv only, Hollander also says turbo is riv only also. Any thoughts or suggestions? BTW it could be had complete for 95 dollars if I were to pull it and 125 if the yard pulls it.

Get it. The engine parts are worth it alone. The WHOLE turbo is specific but the center section can be used after being torn down. You just can't use the scrolls. Internally they're the same and for that price it's worth it. WHY CAN'T I GET THIS LUCKY!!! lol
