I am a guy first off =)
secondly, Carfax revealed it all.
NOTE TO SELF: LOOK AT CARFAX b4 BUYING CARZ...
*says FUCK very loudly to self*

Basically
this car has WAYYYY over 200K miles on it (even though the odmeter says 66987) , the engine just says "NISSAN 2400 12 Valve"
I thought it had said DOHC, but i now remeber why i thought that, While i was working on it, i saw the 12v and i thought that was odd, so i looked in the user manual for specs, and it said 4 cyl, DOHC, but didnt say 16v, so i figured, huh, maybe its just something weird.

No, that my freinds, is a 1990 Engine in a 1991 Car...
WHY THE FUCK Would someone do that?
(btw, we are taking that guy to court, for turning back to odmeter <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> )
It is a 91', the vin says it all, but why the #### would you put the slower, OLDER, 90 engine in there?
....
=(

If I just end up keeping this, which i probably WONT (since i have to do a major suspension upgrade to it, cuz its struts and bearing plates are gone) what recommended engine mods (outside turbo) are avail for this engine?

And is this engine even worth keeping?
