Hi all!     I have a lead on a cheap Synchro[130K, yr unknown] to replace
my '85[185K orig. engine]:

The body on my '85 is in very good shape; the engine is overheating[leaky
rad/right head gasket]

The Synchro body has dings and dongs here and there and a little rust;
cared for by a reputable mechanic; some new parts, rebuild; everything
works and it runs  =8)
What should I do? Options[?]:
swap motors, etc.?
settle for the worse body and "ditch"[fix and sell] my beloved 'Ol Blue'85?
Thanks for any and all feedback/advice!     JinNJ
