Man, those T28's usually cost sooooo much...T3's are way cheap. Go get one at the junkyard just like you would a T25 and start off FI life the right way!

what is a good car to get a T3 off of? Turbo Coupe T-bird? SVO mustang? I'm pretty sure that these are T3's any other cars? Also would a T3 be alright for a D16Z6? thanks again guys
