to buy or not to buy
thanks i know how to change head gaskets but i already have this motor laying a around and i intend to run run the spfi if i can all i would take is changing the gear on the bottom of the disty right thats no big deal and since i will be living in a dorm i pretty much need the car to be bomb proof since i will be about a 1000 mile from my tools and lift . by the way the cars body is the best i have ever seen it has 96000 miles on it the paint is great and no rust anywhere
-
to buy or not to buy
I have found a 87 3 door dl coupe spfi 5spd 2wd that has a blown head gasket for $450 now i think its a good deal since the body is good so if i were to get it i would like to make it a daily driver thats more dependable and reliable than my wagonand would like it to get about 30-38 miles the gallon so it would be cheaper to run now that the wagon is getting a lift very soon so i would like your opinions on putting a built ea81 1600 pistons heads shaved ect. in it so it will require less work to keep it running for the next few years. while i am working and going to collage
