I purchaced a 760 turbo that I found on eaby. Drove it a mile and bam a hole in the block. I finaly towed the car to SC with my mom's 940. Now for the new part of the story. I just bought an 85 740 turbo engine with 100k on it that the mechanic said would be a strong engine to freshen and go with. The head was removed and the 1st and 2nd cyl are worn alot. From what I understand 30mm over may not even clear it all up. So now I have to get new pistons, rings, bearings, and a gasket set. Does anyone know a good (cheap) place to get these parts?
Thanks
