Hello guys,
This is more of a feeler, I suppose, but I'm hoping to get some direct contact, or even another set of eyes looking out for a good, used 1.7 in Florida. After eyeing my finances and life expenses I'll have over the next year, I'm trying to find the best way to get my can running the way it should. I have considered doing a top-end rebuild, but the head work alone looks like close to $500. What I would rather do is find an economical, good running engine with solid compression numbers somewhere in Florida or very near to it. That would allow me to slowly work towards a more thorough rebuild, or possibly even a suby conversion at some point. I know that most of the $300 engine specials are only found out on the West Coast, but maybe one of you all knows where there is something comparable in Florida? Thanks for your help!
