Hello All,
I've purchased an '85 GL with 90,000 one owner miles on it. Its been
sitting for a year. I got the engine running today after a 3rd weekend
visit.( I haven't relocated the vehicle to my studio yet. Anyway, I
purchased this Van to build up into UberB21F . So the very un-uber engine
is up for parts... here's what I know...
* 90,000 miles on the Vehicle
* No major engine work ever performed  (heads never off, ect.)
* has been sitting in a driveway for a little over a year.
* PO said it still ran strong, no knocks, or leaks
* Some thing amiss with Fuel injection system (won't run unless you bottle
feed it gas!... literally!)
I could intra-veneously feed it into a large vacuum line and start and idle
it like that.
compression No.1-4 ... 140 lbs, 125lbs, 75lbs, 115 lbs

included for 500 bucks...
a nice low-milage core , maybe as a backup engine?
complete engine (out of an '85 Automatic GL, so no flywheel, clutch)
exhaust system. descent shape
fuel injection system (everything fuel related in engine bay) condition
unknown.
I'm keeping the Torque converter plate, alternator, engine mount crossbar

Willing to crate and ship via Amtrak , or your pre-contracted freight hauler.
