matter of time before everyone moves thay way, i'm glad my 1.9 was re-manufactured, and someone has my old block in great shape. I think most
shops will say hey we can't do that its special work, shoot you can't get
the german heads without them being reworked, I have AMC hope they are just
as good as time passes. heck I have someones block in my van, and i thank you
who ever you may be in socal or where-ever :) but it came from socal

then again you have others that say conversion is tits and the wasser is a
hoser ;) so why not convert.. hehe Thats whats great about an open world
every might have a choice to find what works for them. or keep whats works
for them

parts are parts
