I’ll never get a buyer to give me what I have into it, and I have too much respect of it’s provenance to let it go for less and possibly get destroyed. So I’m keeping her and gonna out her into something. Keep it original and to the era of which it came. I might even actually use the Boost chamber that doesn’t work .

Crap! The OP said 3-port. I think this one is a 5-port. Does it still qualify?
Yeah, I dont think that would be an issue, even with newer fuel, I think it would perform the same as the current crop of 3 ports.

You should find a nice MP7.5 to put that in. I think the short wheelbase and the overrall forgivinngness of the MP7.5 would lend itsself well to it, or even an MBX4.
