Im now 26hrs into this project total, 8hrs was stripping the 1986 744 and installing a rebuilt head and head studs onto the donor engine. Three days into working on this wagon, been working short days (6hrs/day) as I have other obligations.
I would say it's going together fairly well. The Turbo, alternator and power steering pump have been installed along with a mechanical cooling fan (the electric fan was hitting the hub for pulley that the mechanical fan bolts too) I may install the electric fan at a later date so I left the wiring for it intact. I plumbed the cooling system and heater hoses, installed the needed brackets on the injection pump for the ZF transmission lockdown cable and also installed the correct cruise control spool. I'm hoping to have this car fully operationable just like it would be if it came factory with the D24T.
