I know a good rebuilder in Toronto with 3 yr 120K warr. Probably close to
$1200 if he wants to go that route... I personally wouldn't swap in a motor
from an 89/90.

Email me the rebuilders info and I'll pass it along to him, I think he is
looking at doing the swap because he can get the engine real cheap and can
also get anything else he may need at the same time. I already told him he
would be loosing some power by doing it but he wasn't to concerned. If you
email me the info snowball_2004ATsympatico.ca (replace AT with @) I'll fwd
it to him and he can take it from there.

Thanks again
