Any 16v engines for sale?
The son of a friend bought an engine less OB.
I'm hoping to talk him out of the small block Chevy swap

Are you saying I should indorse the thought of an SBC?
This is California, not sure how well engine swaps go along with the smog ****'s

I was beating on the hornet's nest trying to wake up the purists.
Hence the "ducking behind a brick wall" emoticon.

1 out of four is crappy.
You're better off dropping in a used 4.5l. The costs of adapting the engine to the car, and car to the engine, swamp out the cost advantage of the SBC.
