Title: LG5 wanted
Post by: ManicMechanic on September 18, 2006, 05:27:37 PM
Hi guys and dolls. I'm looking for an LG5 that runs. Preferably in central Texas but I know of just 3 around, 2 are clost to MINT and 1 was in a houston salvage yard. But anywhere between Texas and Ohio would be acceptable. If you have one with intercooler and maybe ready to drop in, I am interested. Email me at: manicmechanic@austin.rr.com

Thanks!

i have one sitting in my garage, but it's not quite complete anymore.  i don't have the turbo, crossover pipe, or plenum.  i have everything else though, including radiator/intercooler, charge pipes, downpipe, exhaust manifolds, ECM & wiring harness etc.

160,000 miles on the odo when i pulled it out of my Turbo STE, and it ran great.  the car drove from eastern Kansas to northern Wyoming with no problem just before i pulled it out of the car.  i'd take $250 for all of it if someone just got it out of my garage.

i guess Gillette Wyoming is sort of between Texas and Ohio :laugh:

If shipping weren't more than the engine is worth, I would so go for that.  :icon_sad:

Well, bump anyway.

I found that site to be very unreliable. More than once I've called a yard and part isn't avaliable because they crushed the car... :icon_neutral:

Keep an eye on ebay, they pop up every once in a while.
