If it has compression and the oil in the crank case isn't diluted with gas I am pretty sure you can have it running in no time.
I pulled my Kemp shredder out on sat. Kohler Magnum 8 powered. Checked the oil, pulled plug and checked for spark. Pulled the carb off mustie1 style and pulled bowl, jets and such and bathed it down in carb cleaner and a good squirt of air. Reassembled and it started  on the third pull with some  premix gas squirted into the cylinder before securing the plug and wire. Hadn't run in several years. Then the real "fun" commenced shredding up the pile of remnants in the back yard.

What engine and carb is it equipped with? Slide throttle like a motorcycle or a butterfly like a regular small engine? Had it sat with gas in the carb/tank? Kinda hard to check brakes and clutch without it running .
Looks like fun if you can get it going.

I want to be able to have a fuel sensor in the return line and be able to have the unit pull or add the timing and boost with the alcohol content. Then if I don't find the e85 or just don't want to it will not have a prob. Seems to be very doable from the things I've seen on YouTube. I'm not against a stock ECU. I have one in the og T with the TT chip. This is just a way to move into the next step. We have the hptuners and it is pretty nifty what can be done but that isn't near what these stand alone units are capable of. And these mega squirt and Holley units are somewhat crude compared to a haltech and others from what I've seen.

The ecugn opens up the ignition possibilities and can use truck and other coils.
Lots of failsafe that can be programmed in. Logging capability right out of the box. And as pointed out the basic tune already to go.
At this point I just need to get the hard parts together and get it running and driving. Weather is warming up so we will get on it.

Fortunately I have vac time and have stacked up some cash so as to be able to tell them "no thanks" when the weather turns. Just not worth bending up my daily. I know you great white northers laugh at us with our little ice spells and such but I'm not going out in it. I'm pretty sure I can drive in it but we all saw my og T and that was good weather. So I just stay home and wait for it to melt.

Been studying up on the ecugn and some Holley stuff. Looking like the ecugn will do what I want. Holley probably would too but I'd rather support turbo tweak. This way I can log and do pressures and temps on stuff. Might even be able to score a used unit but I'm not holding my breath. Will just keep moving forward and see what turns up. Gotta get the block to the machine shop to get it checked out. Seller said it was good but who knows.

I'm running a dw200 in the og T and it seemed to work well. Not exactly plug n play but also not sitting on the side of the road with a bad pump either.
Work has been crazy. But upside, it makes fundage to keep the dreams going. Slowed a little at the end of last yr but with these ice events we are way behind.

From the motion race works  video on you tube the PTFE line doesn't last. I'm a one and done kinda guy. Even if it costs more. I bought the master cool flaring setup and the dies to do the 37* stuff(not cheap at about $500) so I can do the lines. I ended up coming across a set of ss brake lines on fb so I bought those. The guy was doing a frame off on his we4 but I guess decided against using them.

I think I'm going with this filter. Not cheap at almost $200 but I'm only buying one .  Stainless filter media so I can clean it out. It is big so I hope I won't clog it up between cleanings.

Looking at the data they put out the dw thing works and pumps more at higher pressures. So I'm thinking the dw400 and see what happens.

Gonna need an ecugn and ss relay so I can slow it down for the cruising and such.

Russia supplies about 2% of the us oil. Doubtful that is a big disrupter If it gets cut off. For the price to double you need a war and some fear to be distributed to the populace.

Just over $600 and ship in three or more weeks. Though it does go up to 29"

oil pressure sender, front seal, oil pump itself, front or rear of intake manifold? Have to do some clean up and see with some baby powder in my world.

Look like v bands on that exhaust of the first one. Just chop that three bolt off and tig a v band on and a v band and some tube and bends for a down pipe. Just have to see about a wastegate. Could do it on the cross over.

Good call. I'll peruse their offerings.

Cruz shows a filter but doesn't mention in the description
https://cruzperformance.com/products/cruz-performance-custom-turbo-buick-fuel-lines

This one while for a camaro does specify a 10 micron stainless steel filter as was noted about where I would need a 10 micron for the the Injectors.

Saw another kit with a frame filter similar to the golden rod setup so that golden Ron u it might be the hot ticket for budget and good filtration.

Lots to look at and decide on. I'm pretty sure I'm going with that 1/2" Nicop tube and will get a swaging tool to make the 37* double flare to hook it to an -8an filter or adapter to a filter. But it ain't bought yet. Kinda waiting to see what will go down with the jab for a job mandates. Struck down for now but who knows.

The drawback to something like that is its sheer size. I'd want to mount it where the filter hangs down and certainly it would hang below the frame rail. Cool for a track car, not so much for a street car. Maybe they offer a shorter filter that could screw on. Just going by the pony tank we used in the oil field that filter is the size of a pretty big oil filter like the one on my subrban. 51060 I think.

I think these will get me in and out of a filter with the nicop 1/2" line

Thinking this last one should work mounted on the frame like the stocker is.

Looking at a mastercool flaring set up. Looks like I can get a 37* kit and add a 3/16" flare and angle pieces. This would get me doing 37* 1/2" double flares to hook into -8an. And also be able to do 3/16" brake line double flares. also looked at a lisle double flare kit for 3/16" and 1/4". Not really sure what to buy.

3/16" anvil to do brake lines with the hydraulic unit in the kit above. It appears from my reading the dies are the same on the 45* and 37* so I can use the 3/16" dies from the kit above.

and be able to do much more in the future. For a little more invested right now. 

Not real sure which way to go. I'm guessing the mastercool stuff is decent and seems to be well supported as I saw a rebuild kit for the hydraulic unit and the dies and anvils are available as replacements. Plus it comes in a handy blow mold case. Its only money I guess.

was another option for the brake lines.
