    87 T2 w/forged pistons and FM Cam - 58 miles, not 58k

    I am selling an 87 T2 engine. This engine was rebuilt by an engine shop in Shafer, MN. The owner of the engine bought JE forged pistons and camshaft from Forward Motion. The builder did the typical rebuilding process along with rebuilding the cylinder head with a performance valve job. The builder put the engine in the car, broke it in, then drove it 58 miles. Why 58 miles? That's when the turbo let go. Meanwhile, the owner of the engine/car couldn't pay the bill. So, the engine builder kept the car (87 Daytona) and held it until the bill was paid off. Well, unfortunately, the owner of the car passed away. The engine builder sold the car to me just so he could get something out of all the work he put into it.

    I've heard it run. I have photos. I have a video of it running. It would be a shame for this engine to not get put back into another car. Bolt your manifolds and turbo on and go have fun.

    I am willing to ship. If I get $1200 for it, I will throw in a two piece intake with fuel rail, harness, and throttle body. I would post photos if the forum would let me upload them. The best way to get a hold of me is by text or email. I can text the video, engine photos and engine build sheets.

    The above details are not optional. This is to protect buyers... just put yourself in their shoes.

    If you still have the engine I would like to grab it, but would need to ship it since I am currently stationed in Kuwait.
