After about 50 miles the engine overheats. I havent recieved the car yet but purchased it for cheep :smooch: . Is there a problem that happens a lot with this car are is it just mine. If so does anybody have any ideas

I would check the cooling system, also could be a bad head gasket(s).

Something like this could be a number of problems. Coolant system, bad head gasket (like Polygon stated), ignition timing, fuel mixture, etc. :banghead: Check out the easiest ones first....

I dont think it will be to bad of a problem. While im checking the overheating 340 out i could probably pop one of my stepdads engines in that he has sitting in the garage. :biggrin:

Ok, so bring that badass 340 over here and let me "test" and tweak it out for ya! :naughty: I promise I won't behave with it!

BTW, that is one SWEET LeBaron you got there Polygon! :smokin: 13 lbs of boost? DAAAAAMMMNNN!!! I'm jealous.....
