N/A in a third gen question

I've done some searches on hear, and I seen just a little information about putting a N/A carbureted motor in a third gen. I'm looking for some links of people who sell high performance 13b N/As. I seen were some company make them but having a hard time finding out who. My FD is missing the motor and a lot of engine components in the engine bay. This sounds like a viable and reliable options and with a ported motor I should still be close to my orginal 255 HP

No NA engine, save for something radically ported like a big bridge or peripheral, is going to get you close to 255HP. And even then it will be very loud and not something one would consider to be daily driver friendly.

Carbs belong on lawn equipment, not cars.

Your best bet is to swap in another 13B-REW. Once the missing parts are tracked down it bolts right up, as that is the engine the car is designed for.

Good point, Just need to track down some stock headlights and right hand passenger door and I'll have the outside put back together. And seats and center console for the inside. Than back to getting it running
