    It would seem as though most of the 3g general population is on the med west-far west, or even south. I rarely see any up here, but then again, I'm not too keen on where to look for an engine...

    most people these days would just scrap the car when the motor fails. good to see you put a new motor in it

    I was going to say, you"ll need a weber on that! You might be able to plug most of the vacuum lines with a 4th stage vacuum mod removal to get it running until you get the weber on. (how-to somewhere up top)
    Anyhow, looks good. How many miles on this used motor?
