Here we go! Background to this story... I won a poker game and profited $190-$20 buy in = $170. Sold my Walther PK380 to Rushy_rush and netted myself another $300. poker + pistol = $470.
Craigslist ad that I found had this vague picture of a blue 2 door 87 beauty for $500 with supposed rod knock. After a test drive and some suspicions of the motor being completely effed... :questions: I bought it anyways for $300 leaving me with $170.
On the way home we hear a loud bang and shrapnel bounces out behind me requiring my Xterra to tow it home, no worries we suspected it was a turd anyways. And here she sits at the house.
Now I found an EFI VG30E on craigslist out a newer pathy... $170 - $100 + $20 delivery (crazy good deal IMO) = $50 left.
Next step is to order gasket & belt kits so I can tear down the new engine and get her prepped to go in. Plan is to swap the TBI from my 87 VG30i on to the VG30E and it will be a plug and play solution.
