Wow. If there are any left by SF, bring one so we can touch it!

If I wasn't a Po' Boy, I'd drive over and pick one up right now!

Uber-Fantastic find.

The 2.52 ratio automatic in an 84 USA will indeed transform a 16V car.

Maybe a G28.07, or better yet a G28.10....

Nice score in any event!

I wish I still lived in CA. I'd just drive up and tell Greg to drop the trans and slap one of those new bad boys in.

Nice find, I also hope that you find some brand new engine blocks just seating in a warehouse waiting for you to pick them up...

Way to go Greg B!! Wow, wish I could swing one right now for my '85. I'm sure they won't last long.
