BP turbo engine for sale...Vancouver Island, Canada...$1500
i'd LOVE too. But I'm focused on trying to rebuild for under $700 right now..
1992 Ultra Blue Metallic EGT - The 'scort with no name - crap>reliable daily>rallycross prep>stage rally Featured in Rally Gearbox Magazine 3/1/11 "There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."
FYI...I am heart broken...I had planned another 2 years love affair with my BP turbo Escort GT. But she rusted to unsafe conditions on the body.
I am so confident in this engine and my build...I was gonna run water/meth, adv the ignition timing (these engines LOVE timing esp with the port job), add timing gears to open the lobe separation angles to closely match the specs of GTX cams, and run 18 psi all day long...for the next 2 years of DAILY driving! May have fried the clutch...but who cares!?
Reason for selling: my 1991 Ford Escort GT rusted to crap and now I have a race engine that needs a new loving home. This engine is my work of art. It does need a new valve cover gasket though. And new lifters should be considered some time (easy).
