Thanks for the replies! The car I'm looking at has never been driven in the winter, which in N-E Ohio is a huge bonus. It is rust free. If this car was driven in the winter, by now it would be a rust bucket, if not in a junkyard. It has 110K miles on it, a two owner car, and a couple of years ago had the timing chain converted to the double-row chain. It has all maintenance records. It is a very clean car. I have the ability to swap an engine- that part I'm not worried about. What I don't know is what other engine will fit in this car, hence my post. Wodnek- what years of the models you listed would fit? Again-thanks in advance!!!
