2.3
The previous owner claimed my t-top notch had a "broken connecting rod" or a "spun bearing". I've owned the car for almost 2 years, but have only tried to start it twice(its under cover in the garage now). The engine turns over--but doesn't start. I bought the car with a full 5.0L conversion in mind, but just might throw in a replacement 2.3L in the meantime, so I can just cruise around and attend shows. [Its also an original Borg-Warner 4 speed car]
Question; were all '79-'93 2.3Ls created equal? I was thinking of looking for an Aero 4cyl('87-'93) since they may have lower mileage, and might be more durable. I know the major difference between the two is carb vs. EFI, however, I would like to swap the top of the existing engine, and apply it to the replacement engine(this way I don't have to mess with different wiring or re-route anything). It seems like something like this could almost be done in an afternoon.
