Unhappy need 89 turbo engine

this is my first Z i got it for 1500 and through a rod 4 days later i dont know all the differences in engines from 84-89 but i asume any turbo motor from those years should work. a line on a rebuild kit would also do. any help for the new guy is greatly apreciated.

89 turbo engine

quite a rare 300 you have

only 210 1989 300 zxt's were sold

the good news is that the more plentiful turbos from 87 and 88 are the same engine.


unless you are real lucky, your total engine costs are going to be close to what you paid for the car

the speedline group out west would have a low mileage engine for under $1000

turbo

well the 90 days id 86 longer than your first one lasted.

don,t sell your spare turbo

you will need it sometime in the future

if not, you can get decent money for it if you become z less
