Thanks, yeah, that one was fairly clean when I got it and I have worked to keep it that way. It has lost some of the green paint on the block but is pretty nice otherwise. If I showed you the other end of the motor you would be able to see the shiny results of the $700 injection pump rebuild I recently put into it... that part is really a looker. DFIS in Portland, OR sends out some of the prettiest pumps around, IMO.

Who knows what happened with the IP mismatch on yours but you are probably right, if someone was dumb/desperate enough to castrate the output of his turbo motor by putting a non-load-compensated NA pump on it, he was also probably sufficiently mentally impaired to have bungled the job and perhaps was never able to get the motor running afterwards. I have seen D24T's go to the junkyard for lesser problems... Hoping it turns out to be a solid motor for you nevertheless. I'd wager that it will be.
