Depends on how far you are willing to go to find another one that has the engine and stuff already in it?  How common are they, and how much would one cost?  $1100 for the parts you mention could be a good down payment on another TC down the road.

i was thinking more on putting it in the sport. it needs alot of work. but the 4 wheel discs and rear axle, the raven interior is going in. full HO conversion rebuild the suspension. fix the a/c. etc etc etc.

$1100 could go a long way to building the sport.  And you can still look for a TC next year.  Matter of fact, there's one up here for $200.  that's a $900 profit and you still end up with a parts car.  (it's rusted out pretty bad).  of course deciding to rebuild the engine would consume that $900.

Are those 2.3t heads or are they 2.3 heads that will work? There is a difference. I have many heads that I can make work or will work. But I only have 1 True turbo head that is good. I do have 3 that are cracked too.
