That continental kit must be rare. Is it a factory sunroof? Thats insanely rare as well if it is. A early 318 magnum would be a nice upgrade. A 93 has 230HP. Or you can go big with a 360 magnum.

yes factory electric sunroof but it leaked so the last owner siliconed it all :/ and so you can put in a magnum 318 and put a eldebrock erformer intake and regular electronic distributor?

Hey Mike- ASC did the sunroofs at that time for all three domestics. The seals aren't impossible to find...most the time a bunch of crud is in the drain holes, too!
