Jon, the idea was NOT to use Google. I wanted to see if he knew. But thanks for posting that answer for him. I guess we'll never know if he knew now.

Does it really matter if I knew or not? (I didn't and it's irrelevant for GM's anyway) I'm sure those other two cars have the same guts to make it a 284, but is the case the same, doubtful, is the bell housing the same, highly unlikely... So props to you SGR for knowing where to get 284 internals from a couple oddball, never going to see one in a yard cars...SuzukiGhostRider wrote:Jon, the idea was NOT to use Google.

Ya see, now we both learned something new, bickering has it's rewards in the end occasionally!

I found a few in my ventures but they were all autos. I sold the grills and that about it. If it was the really rare hatch version then I'd be drooling but its just a dressed up base...sorta like the 95-96 Z26's...I know because thats what I have. I think

The TC's with the 284 were only made for 2 years (90-91) and they only made 500 of them. They were mated to a turbocharged 2.2 Inline 4 with a 16 valve cosworth head. Yep, I cheated and used google!daguse5853z wrote:I found a few in my ventures but they were all autos. I sold the grills and that about it.

I haven't seen a Corsica hatch in years, but I do remember them!

You mean 2.0 or 1.8 turbo sunbirds, cough cough, lol! A couple friends of mine had them a few years back. Also a local guy I know is selling a 2.0 turbo 88 Grand Am SE 5 speed! My 88 GA in my sig had all the SE parts swapped to it of of a turbo GA as well.daguse5853z wrote:Sorry you cheated but I've come across a few *cough *cough versions of the 2.2 turbo sunbirds in my ventures...might even sold a shifter or 2 from 'emwith the flip up headlights??? yeah I've found a few

I had a vega with a Cosworth. Might be why I love Quads. But I also had a hatchback Corsica. Thing was a pile.
