280 engine
 
you can't just "stuff" a turbo engine in a non turbo car

a ton of parts must be changed including the exhaust , ecu, oil coolers, wiring harness, air meter etc

if you have a limited budget you need one in your immediate area to avoid considerable shipping costs.

posts your address and see if you get lucky on a running non turbo.

i sold one last year for $300 to a local z owner

i suggest you contact the nearest Z club in your area

ideally someone has a parts car with what you need or even better a member who has done a non turbo to turbo swap recently who now has a decent na engine sitting in their garage

in the big picture, repairing your na engine may be the cheapest route to go since you have to take the engine out anyway.

I have a non-running turbo motor. Needs a rebuild and new injectors. I know you wanted a running motor....but i thought i'd post anyway. The motor is still in the car along with the busted auto tranny. I bought the car for the body, so parting with the engine will cause me no grief. I have no idea about the condition of the turbo, but the previous owner said it was okay.

I'm in starkville, ms which i believe is less than 6 hours from there if you come through jackson.

DO NOT BUY FROM Mike Smith!!! He's a scammer ... which has been proven on 3ZC.com, one of the websites that I moderate. Just an FYI!
