What makes you say the blocks fail/flog out?

Most of the problems on the Sierras were turbo related and headgasket related. Followed by electrics/tune/ecu glitches. LOL, which usually meant the headgaskets went bang and they typically overheated. I don't know of too many instances where the blocks failed. Maybe in the RS days pre 200 series blocks but not in the RS500 and Group A rallying and circuit era

That's GTR money for something with a pinto motor

It's sure a long way from home, must be

Looking for that special collector at that price. Fair few sierras have been changing hands over here.

For anyone in Sydney, head to sydney retro speedfest on this coming weekend. Two Gibson GTRs will be going for it in the heritage touring cars. Plus the normal mix of skylines, sierras, commos, BMW, jag, and others.

Did it have a boost curve anything like this? (stolen from the Hypergear thread, he had issues with the ECU commanding the boost solenoid).
