No it's either not a 1995 or it's a DOHC motor. Price is good, boost is easy; just get browntops and run the AFC hack. Tranny might be the shitty one; Getrags are findable.


Find the spark plug wires, distro, PCV, and EGR for me ;)

DOHC's came in the GT but was mandated for the 1995 year, before the "Twin Cam" came out (It's the same ---- Pete ;) ). Head might give;DOHC head swaps can be done or you can yank the motor. Scout out Quad 4 Forums. They know much more than I can give you :)
