Hey (forgot orig poster's name)!
You could maybe even buy my car! I think the SIII 4.2 engine would drop right
in with out much notice after you installed your intake, valve covers, and
porcelain exhaust manifolds.
I entirely rebuilt my engine my self about 110K miles ago. Even replaced the
bronze dizzy drive gear ($90). Engine now has about 2K miles on a valve
adjustment and preemptive head gasket replacement. Has 150-155 PSI cranking
numbers, 215-20 psi oil pressure hot at idle with 10-40 oil and better with
20-50 oil. Minimal leaking. Car just passed smog but still only worth a
$2-3K. Or you could locate another car like mine.
Just thinking....
