Cost him a total of $300 for everything (including the coolant seals, Front and rear seal and manifold gaskets. Then he sold a bunch of the remaining parts on eBay.

Yeah, that probably would be cheaper if I had all the intake, exhaust, etc. parts already on hand. Unfortunately all my parts are for the 12A. I've located an 87 GXL relatively close that was hit in the back. The guy that has the car says it runs and idles well, supposedly a recent rebuild. All he really wants are the interior and body parts for his 87 Turbo II. I'll get the whole car so I can transfer all the FI parts and the transmission, (mine's a 4 speed). Hopefully the wiring won't be too bad and I'll have this thing running again pretty soon.
