I hate to break this to you, but the 3.0L V6's are well known for oil leaks, if it doesn't now then it will soon. They mostly leak at the valve covers which isn't hard to fix. I have had 2 Shelby Z's with the 2.2L Turbo II.

The engine was just rebuilt, so it no longer has the oil problem, We redid all the internals with new rings..etc.

Runs smooth and no smoke at all :)

As well it should be. I sunk tons of money into my Shelby Z, but I still hated to let it go. I loved that car.

Put the Shelby suspension on it and it will be a whole different car.

DAMN, i juts bought some stock suspension shock and struts....

For Shelby conversion..what do i need? Lorco and canadian tire did not have a specific replacement part for that model. They only list 4cyl and 6cyl.

I am just guessing, Shocks, Strust, Springs...but will i need other things like antiroll bar..etc?

Hmm I wonder if they make a front and rear upeer tower Strut Bar to make the chassy stronger?

This doesn't exactly sound like a "Roll Call" anymore people.... sheeeesh..... anyways..... I had a 1991 Daytona auto,.... long winded, but slow, and I ended up selling for like $250. because the motor knocked.... I just recently got a 1990 Daytona ES w/ the turbo and manual.... i bought it to play with as a kind of project.... the lights don't work (have thread about it actually) and the speedo is not functioning, OH and it needs paint, but i only paid $70. so i guess its all good in the end.....

$70, yeah I'd say that it was worth it. I've never even come close to getting a car for $70, except for a '73 Challenger I almost got for $300, but he never got back in touch with me until it was gone.

I've had 3. An '86 Turbo Z, an '88 Shelby Z, and now a '90 Shelby VNT.

What does the Shelby "VNT" Stand for?

VNT = Variable Nozzle Turbo

It has an fluctuating wastegate that regulates the amount of exhaust that enters the turbine. Very efficient idea (Zero "0" turbo lag) but very temperamental at times.
