convert it to a turbo setup. thats the easiest way. get a 88 2.2l non intercooled engine, 88 or 89 intercooled 2.2l or an 89 2.5L non intercooled engine and a wiring harness and ecm for a 88-89 turbo shadow and you are all set. the other years will work but its a little more of a hassle due to motor mount and wiring harness changes in 90+ cars and wiring harness differences in 87 shadows. is the car a stick or an auto? hows the body? rust? no sense in putting alot of effort in a rusty car. if its a stick and you dont wanna go turbo, those motors can take at least a 75 shot of nitrous though its a little risky with no timing control other than twisting the distributor.

you could go with either motor. the wiring harnesses are the same. you just have to match up the right computer and thats not hard to get. i have a spare 89 2.5L turbo computer. actually your best bet is prolly to keep that car stock (ie reliable) and change all the fluids (especially the trans fluid) and get a project car to tinker with. one of my friends is selling a 88 shadow 2.2L intercooled turbo 5-speed on [www.turbo-mopar.com](http://www.turbo-mopar.com). redpunk101 is his name. the car is in warsaw. very solid body, decent interior, needs some paint and needs a bunch of tinkering. he wants ~1000$ for the car. im going to be selling a 88 plymouth reliant with a 3.0V6 5-speed conversion as well (soon as I put the interior back in the car and fix a few things) 60k mile motor, fresh full rebuilt trans from Cliff Ramsdell (if you are into TD’s you know who he is) 88 shadow turbo bucket seats, new struts/shocks as of last year, brakes gone over last year as well. 1000$ Brian ---
