420A Options

[90GSX]

I may be looking for a newer daily driver, and i want to stay in the DSM world so i may get a 2G N/A. I know all about the 7 bolt crankwalk, but what about the 420A motors? Are they a pretty decent platform motor to throw a turbo at later on in the future? I think Temp Me 96 has one. what kind of difference is there between the mitsu and chrysler motor powerwise or reliablity?

If you just want reliable, the 420A is a good reliable motor. Problem being when you want to modify it. I bought my 92 GST for $1500. I had to talk the lady down from $2500 and she would've taken less so it is possible to find one. It had 145k on it when I bought it and it was always (still is from what I hear) a good car. I drove that car all through the winter and never had a time where AWD would've saved me from getting stuck. As for insurance, I've been in three wrecks, had two tickets in the last two years and my insurance is 100 a month (liability only). What it comes down to is it's all in what you want. If you want reliability that 2g you were talkin bout sounds like a good deal. If you want a little quickness in your car, don't be afraid to hunt through the classifieds, autotrader, and every other place to find a good deal on a turbo 1G. The deals are out there, you just have to find them. BTW, I bought my 91 for 500 bucks. Good luck
