I recently decoted the vin on my car and found out my 85 Bird is an SE. Im so freakin happy. I was thinking of changin the old 2.8 for a 3.4 but now I dont know.

If I keep the engine I need to get it ready for a turbo kit. What should I do? I want power but it's gonna be a daily driver so
I WANT RELIABILITY above all.

 

If its an SE, I'd keep it stock if it's in sweet shape. If you want a hot-rodded 6, sell it and get a different V6 Firebird. Check out my website (www.geocities.com/jee89) and see the production numbers for an '85 S/E. Just my opinion, but with a car that rare, I wouldn't mess with it!

It'll never be a huge collectors item, but as a historical 3rd gen it is very unique. Don't expect it to appreciate the way a Trans Am would, though

 

Cool site Jason, your RS is too cool man. That picture of the engine bay shows a great example of how well pampered your car is. Ant thanks for the tip, Im keeping my 2.8 dude.

 

Hey thanks for the compliments Glad I could help!!

A Firebird S/E is a very rare thing...enjoy it!
