Hey guys i'm new.
firstly apologies if the spellings a bit crap, the keypad on thi laptop is stuffed!
Well after almost 20 years the rona my mum and dad owned from new, has pretty much thrown it in.
the rona is a 1984 st141 with what was the 2sc engine. i had a 2.25 inch zorst, K&N air filter w. cold air induction, lowered and stereo.
during a long drive the engine has blown the valve in the no.3 cylinder. i have been quoted 1500 dollars to fix it. so i'm thinking this isn't worth it.
i was wondering if you guys could suggest a budget engine conversion for it. including price for new brakes and other incurred costs. i can't do it my self though.
so what engine and gearbox will fit and be a bit more powerful?
my budget will probably be maximum 5000 dollars. i know its probably not enough.
anything oveer 5g and i'll bite the bullet and get a different car. but the rona has sentimental value.
