The engine'* in the 94 and under are pretty bullet proof from what i hear. For the non supercharged engines they have 2 valves per cylinder, 170 horsees, 205 ft/bls of torque. for the supercharged they also have 2 valves per cylinder, 225 hp, 275 ft/lbs of torque. I see alot of people on here w/ milage over 100,000 and not complaining. There are also a few options for modding it too.
hope that helps.

that'* correct..
check out the techinfo as for maintainance and changin the Tstat and adding tranny cooler to further increase the life of the mill.. welcome to the board... I especially love the amount of room to work around under the hood compared to some of the newer cars... there'* not much you can do without rippin out half the car or droppin the engine. Good choice.. hope to see more of you on this board.

Engine'* don't just accidentaly add 20 horses lol. That 170 HP is probably pushing you pretty nicely making you think you have more HP. Whats the HP of the Series 3 3800 N/A? i know with the */C it'* 260..but that'* all i know.

If it had the Series 2 then you would be pushing 205 LOL, I love them to death. Yep my car has over 100,000 miles and runs great tranny and all.
