The presentation does leave a bit to be desired. It was hard to even be able to get an overall pic with all the stuff in there around itNever_Lift wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 10:56 pm That pic, $2,000 for that mess, as I’m charitable for the Christmas season.

Minus the 1 intercooler, it looks complete.

What is the engine going to be placed into?

Re: 1987 Callaway engine
I have no idea. To say this came as a complete surprise would be the understatement of the year. I think I’ll just focus on restoring the engine for now and see what comes along.

Yikes. Maybe Santa will allow a late addition to my list

Re: 1987 Callaway engine
What's the latest on this? Don't forget to get the Callaway emblems for the intake plenum.

Re: 1987 Callaway engine
I’ve got it home and have been removing all the accessories off the front and generally getting it tidied up a bit so I can get it on a stand. I’m talking with a local engine builder about assessing the state of the internals once I get it separated from the trans. Took both valve covers off and it looks brand new topside. #8 spark plug is completely carbon covered. That’s the only one I’ve pulled so far for no particular reason.
So, I’ve been wondering about the intake. Most of the pics I see on the interwebs have the black wrinkle finish but mine appears to have been “polished” like the rams horn and runners. Were all the early cars this way? When did the black finish come about? Are there any resources for pics of the engines before being re-installed? I know some of the accessories and brackets I have are not original.

Re: 1987 Callaway engine
All the 87-91 Callaway engines had the black wrinkle finish. Here's a pic of an engine from 1987 to help. It appears original in the pic:

Re: 1987 Callaway engine
Thanks for the info. So the “Callaway” is a decal? Mine shows no sign of ever being black so someone spent a lot of time to get it to a polished finish I guess. Appreciate the interest and any info at all. I continue to scour YouTube and past discussions here for as much info as possible.

Re: 1987 Callaway engine
What numbers are on the pad, on the block, in front of the cylinder head on passenger-side?

Re: 1987 Callaway engine
Is part # 250.42.9014 the emblem you’re referring to? I’m seeing that a lot has been changed on this engine appearance wise. The block is red, inlet pipes shown as polished on the website are painted red, but the black intake has been polished

This is the injector situation on the front of my rams horn. There’s clearly something missing that would secure it but not anything I’ve seen in any pictures.
