KITT, engage turbo boost.

"Sure thing, Michael."

What a weird place. I came to the address and it was a self storage
facility. The guy has a unit full of quads (Banshees mostly), a three
wheeler, two sand rails, and tons of junk. His silent lacky met me at
the gate. When I arrived, the master was at work in his unit fiddling with a banshee engine on the ground. The turbo engine was on a hand cart resting
horizontally on the back of the sand rail for sale. He said that they
ride them up in Hazleton or some place where there had been (or are)
coal mines off 80 near the Pocono Raceway.

"I have a Lincoln. It welds well without gas."
"So you use flux core?"
"Yeah," he said as he sucked down some more cancer from his cigarette.
I looked at the lumpy welds holding what looks like exhaust tubing to
the T intake manifold connecting to stock dual port heads. With the
rubber hose that would connect the intake manifold to the turbo
hanging loose, it looked like the engine had a periscope.
"There must be a tiny German submariner in there," I thought.

His buddy, who works on Eclipses or some such car for a shop, welded
the turbo mounting plate onto a new $90 header. The turbo is a Saab
unit he got for $50. The doghouse heater outputs had been removed and
covered. It looks like it has new wires, coil, and distributor cap (Edit: Yeah, if you define new as being not older than me).
The turbo needs a gasket to fit the header and something to attach to
a muffler (muffler is free in LeMons). The turbo would interfere with
the rear lid and probably the apron too. He said that the pistons are
"new" and the cylinders were reconditioned. He thought that they were
bored and sleeved to a larger size, but I said that I did not think
that there was enough cylinder wall to do that from a stock barrel. He
said that the bore size is not the stock 85.5. He said that the clutch
WAS new; whatever that means, but, hey, it is a clutch that is not
thirty years old!

The bad parts:
There are no oil lines. The return line should be simple: install a
hose barb on the rocker cover (one side in particular he said.
probably the side opposite the windage). I forgot to ask about the
source for the input line.
No carburetor. I thought that it was a blow through system at first
and did not think about it or even ask. Later, I looked and decided it
is a pull through.
The turbo mating surface is rectangular with a circular bulge. The
header mating surface matches the rectangle, but not the bulge. I am
uncertain whether there is enough mating surface there to maintain a
seal.

I also picked up a bright green transaxle for $60. He wanted $100. His brother had removed the
bolts from the side covers to drain the oil; he lost the bolts.

Now, there is a sand rail up in Bristol, PA without an engine and I
have a hoopty turbo engine sitting in my front yard for my neighbors'
pleasure. I am definitely the cool kid on the block.
