Pain, I can't help but agree with most of my fellow posters on this one. That car might not be worth $1600 mint, never mind with engine probs. Everyone loves a project, but think long and hard about this one. If you like mopars, get an older one. Maybe you're trying to be different than the import or the pony car enthusiasts, but you'd probably have more luck and more fun with an '87 mustang or something. I don't know much about those turbos, but knowing that Chrysler was barely afloat financially at that time leads me to believe they cut corners on most everything like oil and water jackets and intercoolers. Maybe we're all wrong, but even if you're right, you'll have a nice '87 DAYTONA!? good luck either way.
