93's had hyper pistons, may be something to consider if you plan on using the bottle or adding any kind of boost. Its still doable but you must be careful.

Don't pass on a nice 87-88 car. Most of them have been converted to mass air. And if it's still speed density, that's even more attractive to me. It won't have been has heavily modded and the conversion is cheap, although I like SD and wouldn't rush to convert a daily driver.
