It's an SE!!

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
