I pulled the heads off of my 2.0 today and found out why the PO had taken the motor out. Guess this solves the subaru conversion question for me.

Dig deeper, maybe you'll find Hoffa.

Clean it up a little.

Hard to tell how much damage.

Might be fixable or worth some coin towards the other option.

Andy, that's a normal color for florida cars.

Send it to Len at HAM as he is bored lately and needs a welding lesson.

Andy,
Yes, you are correct it has been sitting awhile. I bought the car 6 years ago just before a divorce and i'm finally getting a chance to work on it. I've been working on the hell hole and floor pans but thought i might tear into the engine to see what i was in for.

Is that below the battery tray, or behind the passenger seat?
