Hello everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I purchased a 90 Super Coupe today. It is somewhat of a project. Blue with grey cloth, 5 speed with 115k miles. I only paid $175 for it. I figured I can't go wrong. It does have some issues though. The previous owner put in a high performance cam. The cam wasn't installed properly and it walked outwards. I have yet to inspect the damage but like I said, it was only $175. It has a stage 2 clutch (suposively), 3 inch catback with turbo mufflers, larger throttle (cant remember what size he said it was), short throw shifter. The driver side rocker is rusted out but I think it will be a reasonable fix. All in all, I am happy about the purchase and I will be visiting a lot to gather as much info as possible.
If the motor needs to be rebuilt, I may just purchase a different engine. I would like to know your thoughts as to the best alternative. I am aware of the 4.2 from the truck. I may look into this or perhaps just go with another 3.8.
Thanks,
Josh
