Here is the info from the ad, its a 1989 Notchback LX
Stock shortblock 302, early Windsor worked heads, stud rockers, E cam, Performer intake, 70mm throttle body, 80mm C&L meter, 42lb injectors, Equal shorties, H-pipe, 2 chamber Flowmasters, big aluminum radiator Tremec 3550, Centerforce dual friction clutch. 4.10 gears in the stock rear end. Walbro 255lph high volume/pressure pump and T-rex type inline pump. Stock lines and rails. Procharger P600B blower, 3 core horizontal intercooler, 3" plumbing. Makes about 14 psi, although it has not really seen the far side of 5000 rpm since I have been tuning it with a Tweecer RT and trying to get the tune right. I also have a Innovative Wideband on it. Mallory Hyfire 6AL, MSD BTM, IST air adjuster. 5" Autometer tach, and boost guage. The BTM and Air adjuster are no longer needed with the Tweecer though. I think it has 86,000 miles on it.
ive been talking to him and he said he just got a Wideband and a DFI instead of teh Tweecer setup he had. I can get the car for ~5k, but know almost nothing about superchargers though. I'm no stranger to racing, nitrous, and building motors; but know NOTHING about blowers.
I took it out for a test drive and the thing ran alright, and was steaming the windshield a bit from a small leak in the heater core. The thing was in desparate need for a tune...wasn't running right at all, and the clutch was starting to slip. I brought it to about 6krpm a few times and when we brought it back there was some coolant over the engine bay(he didnt have an overflow bottle so it just squired out of the rad) and we came to the conclusion of a blown head gasket. We pulled the rad cap, and there were slight bubbles in the coolant.
Now, I think he's going to change the head gaskets, but I was curious if this seems like a good deal. Also I was curious on how hard it would be to tune the motor to the blower.
any help is appreciated
