If not, let SoloIIdrift buy the engine and I'll buy the interior. I'll even remove it for you and replace it with another if you want. You name the price you want.

Haha, the "Part Out" Vultures cometh. 
At least you can part your car out and get a decent amount of cash. I think the FC community would stone me for parting out a good AE.

HaHa parting out? lol I dont have alot of time to do.
And yes the whole car is in PERFECT condition...wish I can keep it
But 1FastT2 and SoloIIdrift Ill keep you guys informed.
But my parents said they can loan me the money to get the motor in but said if they do Ill ahve to keep the car which I dont want because its auto so I was going to actually sell it in Sept but now its to late it went boom!
So what would be the best thing for me to do?

Sorry, but no one's going to pay 2K for an automatic 91. Why buy one that doesnt run when u can get a mint one for 3500-4K. If it was a turbo, different story. I will give you 800 bucks for it. I already got a tow truck to bring it up. I want to get this for my gf

Think I should look into that?

the trans swap alone won't cost TOO much. i mean you could swap in a T2 tranny,driveshaft, LSD, halfshafts. parts aren't that expensive labor is the killer. if you really wanted to you could just make your car a T2 for like $4000

I ran a bit lean on my motor less then 5k
My fault boosting to high
but it seems to only have broken a apex side piece
no biggie
open up and patch
maybe a bride port this time
Helps I do most my own work

hahahahahaha. he'll be up for it! LOLseriously though man...yeah it sucks that you have an auto but on the bright side you have one of the cleanest coupes of the last year the FC was made. i'd look into the tranny swap and new motor. just clock some extra hours at work or get a second job...****, DONATE SPERM! hehe
i wouldn't sell it for the prices these guys are suggesting...they are too low...
