life is complicated
i picked up a glh as a project and blew the motor on the way home..
since i'm familiar with srt4 thought that would be an option
just to be safe, i picked up a 2.5 for $50 in case the megasquirt 2.4 was to much of a project..

now life.. moving to a smaller place.. popped the head off the 2.5 and wow lots of rust.. in the cylinders .. tipped motor on the side and the oil pan is full of water..
unfortunate lesson, storing motor outside without valve cover destroys motor.. plan b is going to recycling .. ugh .

car-part dot com might have a motor close enough to you so that you can get the car back on the road. Should be worth a look.

i was at the local recycler h&h auto, manalapan nj -- and they had a pt turbo auto complete... that would be perfect for a swap too
