What condition is the engine and how many miles? I'm located in Northern California.

 

I believe the rear main seal blew out (pool of oil on the rear right side between engine and trans). Before that though she ran strong, did leak some oil, turbo burned a bit. I'm selling for such a low price, because I could almost never justify sending this engine to the scrap yard.

 

Will tranny fit an '85?

 

This model is gonna have the more powerful 722.3 tranny, which will fit in an '85 if you also replace the driveshaft.

 

Scratch that, the OP says it used the 722.118 although it probably will still fit if you change the driveshaft. There should also be no vacuum junk going to the trans.
