Hi, i am trying to buy a second hand 2 generation non-turbo fc. Those with high milage seem to be so so cheap.... like 90,000 miles..... so ,, worth it ..or ready to do a swap ?

 

ive seen the 84-85 gsl-se's go 200,000+ miles (320k is not uncommon)

I think it all depends I know I am the 3rd owner to race my GTUs out of a toal of 4 owners and I have 173,000+ miles on her. I talked to a person who had approx 300,000+ miles on her 1st gen 12A before it let go.

 

but 13b wouldn't be much different from a 12a in terms of reliability right ?

 

i have got this car that has done about 100k and selling for about 1000 pounds. Do u think it is worth it. That car is a non-turbo generation 2

 

My 87 se has 143,000 on it and it still trucking strong.

 

Ive seen 290k on an original NA FC motor.

 

good.... then is time to get some cash ready ... and kick some *** with my fc..!!!

 

My car has 138,000, I bought it with 130,000 for $1,500.

 

i have close to 200000 km on the engine from an 86 gxl, lots of mods and it still pulls strong

 

I had 249,972 MILES on mine when it upchucked an APEX SEAL

 

ive 114k on mine and it showed very very good compression at 100k

 

It would be interesting to see what kind of vacum and compression numbers are on a 200k mile engine. Carbon must be horendous inside them boyz

 

I got 202,000 miles before the engine went. Now, I have 258,000 and the tranny JUST went.

My 87 NA has about 200,000 and nuthin wrong with her. My friend had an 12a with 300,000 on it. I have had better luck with 1st gen. motors.

 

I have 203K miles on my 87 N/A and it still runs perfect. It has gotten slightly cold blooded over time .. but otherwise no problems yet. Infact the tranny went out before the motor.

 

310,000 miles and runs so strong, I hit 98 MPH in the Quarter and I smoke street ported engines.

 

right now my '87 N/A is about to turn 180k miles, and she's still running strong. i checked the compression at about 166k and it was getting three strong 125 psi blips up front and i think 105 or 110 psi in the rear.

 

A 1000 pounds of what?

 

The record around here as far as I know is 300K on a non turbo FC.
