The car is a 92 Dodge stealth that is 500 bucks there is nothing wrong with anything nice paint, interior is not bad and everything. But it has a blown head gasket and it will crank over and everything but actually I was thinking it might be another problem so what is the opinion take the risk?

nosman757

american version of 3000gt/gto, you can drop the TT motor in it, not sure on how much of a a pain it is

Some Stealth's came twin turboed. Off the showroom floor the Stealth R/T TT would kill the same year Vette.

Drop in the TT and 6 speed and be done with it.

yeah will I bought the car it has alot more problems than a blown head gasket so I will be lookin for a new motor to drop in it soon!

Base, ES or R/T?

If its the DOHC motor (ES/R/T), you can either drop a used Japan TT engine and ECU in it, ("speedfreaksteve" on 3si.org), or you can get a 10:1 DOHC motor and do a TT conversion. Go to 3si.org and read. Also go to Stealth316.com for some VERY useful info. Like half of the FWD owners on 3si have TT conversions.

Be prepared though, these cars can be a pain and the testdrive is EVERYTHING. There are many people on the forums that haven't even gotten a chance to mod yet because they're tied up in mainainence/ repairs. These are NAs I'm talking about btw. To me, since I have to take my car to a shop everytime something happens since I don't have a garage, its not worth it for a non turbo. Only get the car if you have a garage and can do some work yourself.

My DOHC NA motor cost me 1100 shipped with 41k on it. After 1000+ miles, its still running smooth as hell. If you want to go cheap and keep it a DD, I'd just drop a DOHC motor in there, at 222 crank hp/ 205tq, its not slow.

IM me on AIM if you have anymore questions.

Don't drop a bunch of money into that car. I would use it as a DD or a backup vehicle and be very happy with the deal you got. My buddy has now owned 2 TT cars and they have a lot of problems and are expensive to fix. The transfer case and tranny are not as strong as they need to be for that motor. The base model that he owned, however, was very reliable.
