hey i just bought a 93 sc t-bird. when i purchased this i new it has a blown head gasket, the dude tried to repair it over ayear ago but got lost on the project and gave up and let the car sit as is. ( supercharger and top half pulled off )..i have repaired head gaskets in older cars a 69 stang 302 and a 65 f-100 352bb, but never worked on a fi car before..is this a diffcult task on these cars or something i can jam out over a solid weekend..im a ok mechanic...also w/ a 5spd trans how well do these hold up

 

It will not be much more difficult - just pay attention to the torque spec.'s and use head gaskets FOR superchargers. 5 speed transmissions do not buffer the power output as well as automatics.

 

i wanted ask another question im going to tackle this project but i was wondering, if its been sitting is the coolant on the pistons going to create a rust problem ( sitting 7-12 monthes )..if it does creat a problem what could i do? rebuild entire block, or is there a palce to buy a block already to be dropped in?

 

Definite rust problem. Rebuild if possible or get a remanufactured supercharger applicable engine. Standard motor innards usually are NOT designed to handle a supercharger.

 

i just got off the phone with the old owner heres what he said about the car...when he claims to have blown a gasket he parked the car looked under the hood and a hose right next to the supercharger pulled was cut. second he said that white smoke not real heavy was coming from the exhaust..he then took apart some of the motor ( alt,powersteering,innercooler, ic piping on top and the fan is off )..i havent put the back together and try to start it becase he told me it was agasket but now im not sure...what do you guys think...ohh he did say after he took it apart he couldnt get it to turn over??..any ideas im stumped is it a gasket?

 

Maybe didn't turn over 'cause a sensor was disconnected. Maybe he threw a piston sideways. White smoke can be head gasket or cracked head or cracked block.
