Hey does anyone have a good condition (hopefully running condition) short block available around Chicago area? Let me know. Thanks

Van

Not really near Chicago, but I have this one:
1988 turbo S engine (M52 engine code)

Full rebuild 19k miles ago with:
-New gaskets and seals
-New rings
-New rod and main bearings
-Valave job
-New intake valves
-O-ringed head
-Copper head gasket
-Lindsey adjustable cam sprocket
-New oil thermostat
-New clutch
-New pressure plate
-New throwout bearing
-New knock sensor
-Rebuilt fuel injectors

Additionally, since then, at 4k miles ago, I put on a rebuilt K26/8 turbo; put on a new water pump; rebuilt the throttle body; installed a new, lightweight, planatary gear starter; replaced all valve springs with brand new ones.

Dynos at 232 HP at the wheels (with a Lindsey boost enhancer) and stock boost.

Compression is great and even across the board; oil pressure is is 5 bar cold, 3-4 bar hot at 6k RPM (on track), over 1 bar hot idling (in pits).

Oil is changed every 1000 miles (3-4 track days).

Here's the compression test from right after it ran in the video (about 30 seconds):













And here's my most recent dyno run:

Thanks for the info Van. I might not mind shipping for the right price, however, I'm really only looking for a shortblock. You seem to have a full engine with great history that should pull a bit more than I'm planning on spending. Thanks, though.

Thanks, Brian. However, I've got plenty of blocks and cranks lying around.
