Odds of finding (at least close to) operating EA82T

[the_bard]

My other thread (Potentially Changed Project, or something like that) has gotten me thinking.

 

So far we've been discussing pulling the SPFI engine out of my Loyale, and either rewiring the ex-turbo (missing the engine) '89, or converting the SPFI over to carb.

 

If I do end up picking the '89 up, I'm going to be making a run down to Harry's in PA to pick up a 4wd d/r tranny first (gotta contact them ahead of time and see if they know if they'll have one or more).

 

What're the chances of me finding an EA82T that's in decent shape,while I'm down there? At the prices they're claiming,, it wouldn't bother me to pick up a couple trannies, along with a couple engines.

 

Sure sounds simpler/quicker than rewiring or slapping that carb on there...
