Hi all. Its been a while. Knee surgery has kept me out from under the car but now the time has come. Old man winter is starting go to sleep again, so I better get cracking. So on that note, I went to start her up the other day and well the starter that I knew was going (yup you guessed it)went. So I jacked up the car and pulled her out. Bad solenoid. My rebuilder will have it back in a day or two. All this is ok so far, now comes the " YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING"part. Here is a brief history first. I just bought the car(1980) last August and figured out soon after that the orinal engine had been replaced. To my dismay the engine is from a 1974. So now I need to find an engine preferably locally.
The car has no rust though. In Canada thats rare.
Speak to you soon everyone.

Re: Engine locations
you don't really need to replace the motor just because it's a different year model. If it runs okay, just go with it. Each of the various displacements have their specific characteristics. I'd drive it and snatch up a 2L when you find one at the right price and location
