    Well the missing peice to the 84 RS Turbo is now complete. all thats left is to drop it in.

    Little info on the engine...
    Total rebuild, all the parts are either brand new NOS ford parts, or were redone.
    Will post more specs if you guys want it.

    Anyways here are some pics, still have to put the fuel rail and a few other little things on.

    Beautiful, man. I can't wait to see some pics when it is finished. Did you use an E6 exhaust manifold?

    That should be the E6 then. The turbo flange opening is way bigger on the E6.
