1984 SVO

It's stock and I just plan on restoring it, no "factory mods" or tuning will be done.

I've got an SVO T5 and the t3/t4 factory turbo, turbo bracket, E6 manifold... still gotta pick up a few other parts.

I plan on doing all the little upgrade things to this motor, but nothing too crazy. Don't know what I'm going to mount it in yet...
