thank you all for the valuable advice. i hate to say it but with my spinal arthritis after completely screwing my back up moving furniture anything that gets done to this car i am not going to be able to do. that means i am actually going to have to hire a mechanic. i cant believe i just said that.
If that's the case then Jerry's approach should put you money ahead, provided you've got a good mechanic that's not out to get into your pocket as much as he can. But for improved reliability a replacement engine from NAPA or the like would be an easy task on the open car. Should be able to swap it out in a few hours, I would think.
