hey all, Here's a question for you. Now my engine which is a bonstock 1600cc needs to be replaced. Since I am unsure if it is rebuildable (since I haven't pulled it yet out of the car but the dang thing looks like death warmed over.) I am wondering about good engine builders at all. Obviously I will not be doing anything to the engine for at least a year but in this time I would like a few ideas on where I can get a new engine. Although if my old engine is good then, eventually I will get a rebuild kit and do it myself but for the initial restoration a new engine should be in place. The type of engine would either be another bonestock 1600 or maybe even a 1776 but I am unsure about it since their are questions that I have about it in terms of hardware. 1. If I get a 1776 cc engine, can I use my original fuel system provided that it is in still good working order. My car is Fuel Injected and I plan on keeping it that way. 2. Do most engine rebuild companies give you a choice of hydraulic lifters or do they just put the mechanical lifters in. (perferably hydraulic lifters for me) any help here is appreciated. dennis perusse __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
