and the problem is?  that is why I was selling the trailer, to buy the boat...  no real cost...  except for fuel every once in a while..

Alex I am asking $2000 ( I paid $2200 for it last year) but would take $1800 maybe $1700 now if someone showed me the cash..

Could, but this is the second one I have broke and I am getting sick of it as a daily driver...  an aod would be nice so then if I go someplace and drink to much, the GF can drive me home...  (she cant driver 5 speed)

Congrats on selling the trailer, if that's what you really wanted to do. I don't mean to sound like a dad (although I can't help it because I am one), but if you're out of work and out of unemployment, should you be looking at buying a car for a "toy"? I guess I am an old guy, but if I was in that situation, I would be pinching every penny I had. Again, not trying to get in your business, just making an observation. Either way, good luck and I hope things turn around for you!

I say "toy"  because I am always tinkering with my daily drivers....  Which is what the SC will be....  IF it is in good shape.  the ad says it has a minor dent in the passenger side door, but my buddy says the door is pushed right in on it....  We'll see.

 If not I know where a certain blue Tbird is sitting for sale for cheap. ;)

hmmm, the more I think about this car, the more I am scared off of it...  I know they are notorious for being expensive to fix, and they arent the most reliable...  so I found something else... just waiting to see if the guy accepts my offer...

Yeah the 90's 3.8 is a headgasket eater, ESPECIALLY when you have it under boost. The M90 supercharger makes it fun though.

You guys should elect Obama president of Canada too.  It would fit in with his plans to be president of the world, although he prefers the phrase "King" or "god" of the world.

The only reason they eat head gaskets is due to lack of changing coolant(lack of maintanance) and old head gaskets).
If you do the head gaskets right(felpro gaskets,arp head studs and change your coolant every two years they will be fine,hell some have lasted 300 000k before they went, they can be done in one day if you have air tools and to guys who have any mechanical knowledge.
I love my sc and it's identicle to the one in ron's pic.
Mind you it's been rebuilt stem to stern(again due to someone's lack of caring for it)and it has had it's share of bugs but it's a good looking great driving car with decent power on tap.
To bad you bought that 94(nice car though) as i could have helped ya out with any sc problems(kinda the resident sc guru now lol).

I heard the Eaton M90s on those are more similar to M62s like on the earlier SSEi Bonnevilles. Now I have an Eaton M90 on my GTP and I love the little thing.

Post by: dominator on July 10, 2009, 08:08:41 PM
Very similar but the 90s flow a little more.
There's a guy on sccoa that put an m112 off of a 5.4l lightning on his 3.8l and it makes over 400hp to the wheels.

Yeah there are a few guys who swapped the M90 on their GTPs for M112s and whipples. Pretty crazy on a FWD.
