I've never had any experience with the original k-cars, only AA bodies, Shadows and Daytonas. There is a decently clean 83-85? Aries wagon LE 2.2 auto in my area that has reg plates from 1999. I looked under the hood and it was just dusty and had no battery. I did some research to find that these cars weigh nothing compared to my 2gn Neon R/T and Spirit R/T.

Questions are:
-What are bad things to look for on these old k's?

-Can I convert to 5 lug, 4 wheel disc brakes easily

-The engine probably is siezed after sitting so long, is putting a newer engine with SBEC-1 a runaround?

-Is this a bad idea?

I've brought back a handful of Dodge and Chryslers with intensive care and just curious about this one. Looking to have a cool wagon for utility and handling fun

Thanks!
