    ^ You could have just edited your first post. A note for future reference.

    FC3S = Time Bomb
    FD3S = Fire Trap

    I vote for the FC3S. Just make sure that the engine has been well maintained. Be sure to double check the apex seals and the condition of the turbo if it's a Turbo-II. FD's are horrendously more expensive and not really worth it IMO. Besides, FC's are much sexier.

    FC doesn't equal time bomb. My stock turbo motor lasted 140k

    Where did you get that idea? Ever owned one?

    For me FC is the way to go, although FD will be much faster.

    BTW, if FC ever dies on you, there is always LT1/T56 swap

    I think you meant the other way around. But the only danger on the FCs with fire is the pulsation damper. That's true on a LOT of 80s cars. Easy to check and replace.

    FDs can be reliable - if you know what you are doing.

    I like both FCs and FDs. Both are great cars.
