Correct it’s a non turbo. Indy #001 and 002 had NA 4.1s that were beefed up, the production cars got the na 3.8. The 82 GN came with the 4.1 v6 but about 35 got the 3.8 turbo v6

There was a 4.1 V6?

You wouldn't happen to have an extra seat knob would you? For the LS seats?

I got tired of hitting my head on the stupid windshield so I removed that problem. The windshield was loose in the drivers bottom corner and I found a couple small pinholes that will have to get tacked up. I haven’t cleaned the full windshield channel out will do that tomorrow and see what other issues I have. Fortunately it looks like the bottom of the a pillars are ok so it will probably just be the header panel that gets replaced. Also got the header panel and hood off and started removing the fenders until the passenger bottom bolt started spinning because of the speed clip. So I’ll have to cut the bolt. No biggie. Making progress

Yes it was only available for a couple years. I don’t have any extra knobs I’m lucky to still have all of mine

Moving right along as I took a break from it last night to do some work on the Indy. This evening I’ve removed the passenger fender (inner and outer) the heater box is now removed. This car definitely shows evidence of being parked under a tree at one point the drains for the heater box are completely blocked which probably attributed to the floor pan rust. There is some scale around it with a couple very very small pinholes where the engine harness goes through under the box. Also doing the very important steps bagging and tagging. I also got the drivers side fender removed and found some more rust around the parking brake cable where it goes through the firewall. I removed the headlight and engine harness. Tomorrow I will try and remove the core support, the bumpers and taillights. I have a shelf in my building I will be bringing back down to the garage to help keep the parts safe and organized. Thankfully when I put this back together I’ll have the Indy to use for reference for most stuff.

Didn’t get much done today to the car however I did finally go up to Virginia and pick up the parts car. I have the drivers door in the back of my Tahoe. Haven’t gotten the carpet out yet as I just got home a few minutes ago but just taking a quick look the floor looked decent but will find out for sure once I remove the carpet. Also has perfect metal on the firewall to fix mine.
