87 Quest,Ford 302, Holset HX52

Been awhile, eh?

I got a retarded stupid deal on this car. It runs and drives, but needs some desperate TLC. I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with the drivetrain setup for the time being, or swap out for a iron 5.3 and a turbo 350. For now, this is how it sits.

1988 HO seasoned block.
do0ey heads
trw-vr forged pistons
ARP Hardware
Accell ignition
FM Dizzy
explorer gt40 intake
Phenolic spacer
70mm throttle body
FMU
24lb injectors
pro-m maf
New plugs/wires
custom manifolds with crossover pipe
Holset HX52 Turbo
4.5 inch v-band exhaust to 3 inch all the way out to tuner muffler
18x8 18x10 rims Black with silver flake lips
C6 tranny
shift kit
Autometer gauges in the dash (speedo, tach, volts, water, oil, fuel)
a9l Computer
B&M slap shifter
Tial wastegate







I'm not too keen on the Ford stuff, I like the GM stuff more, but since its in here, might as well use it. Hopefully will be doing some basic tuneup and figuring out what the fuck is wrong with it from there.

I had forgotten about those cars, had to look it up on Wikipedia.  From the production numbers, they are pretty rare.  Cool find!
