4K v. 80/90 for a turbo transplant

[Denis]

Yesss absolutly true Scotty, the 90 drive more solid than the 4000,the body
is been redesigned, the structure is stronger by design , look and when i
drive it. The body look more like the 5 years cars.. and much less rust on
the 80 or 90 than 4000...look likes a box (my opinion)

an 87 5KTQ and want to put the engine in something.  Won't fit in the 914,
so do I use a 4000Q or a 90Q?
