Guys I found a turbo!! Craigslist out on the hill

Starting to build a strategy,
Step 1. Figure out what parts I ain't got
Step 2. Figure out what parts I need in addition to that
Step 3. Get the headgasket redid. Some new studs. If you're gonna be stupid, be smart about it
Step 4. RUHRUHRUHRUHRUH

This weekend I'm gonna lay it all out in reference to the banks image on their website and start cross reference.

This was the ad and subsequent photos I got from the fella

 

[Nero]

I can't quite tell by the photos, but the banks kits are transmission specific. I hope you have the correct kit for which trans you have. The pedestal's are different

 

[Ky85]

Let's hope I do! Didn't know that

 

[Nero]

I found that out the fun way.... After I was installing mine. Had a kit for a E4od, and I have a zf, didn't clear the bell on my trans. I'd suggest before tearing it apart, find some reference pictures for each trans with the pedestal. I think they're in the manual.

 

[Ky85]

Word, I dl the manual I'll check it out. Ty

If you do happen to have the wrong kit, maybe you can just order the correct piece you need from Banks.

 

[Ky85]

Research telling me;

 

[Nero]

Do you know what the truck had the kit came off of? I don't know if the c6/E4od are cross compatible, on Bank's website they list 3 kits, for each trans option.

 

[Ky85]

I don't but I asked the fella and am waiting to hear back

 

[Ky85]

He had it in an 89 7.3. I'm not sure which Trans were used for that series
