There is nothing wrong with the Cross-Fire engine that some intake manifold porting, or replacing with a better breathing induction system, won't fix. The well documented "problem" with the Cross-Fire is the half size manifold ports. Pretty standard sbc after that. It does have forged pistons, takes nitrous no problem. As has often been said, a lot of Cross-Fire critics have never owned one.
That car is not likely to be much of a bargain if it clears the reserve. There are too many low price better condition C4's that you can buy that will be a better deal money wise vs. dumping a bucket of cash into fixing that '84.

That about sums it up. Depending on what the reserve is, it could be fun daily driver. Making a Crossfire run is falling off a log easy.

Screw technological advances, we should all be running carbs, since that is what was before Crossfire. Crossfire was a step towards modern fuel injection, so it is the worst idea ever conceived by man.
