I am wondering if anybody might know where an engine might be hanging around, needing a home?  I would like to get one that needs rebuilding and do it at my leisure.  The engine that is in mine ('94 N/A) burns some oil and I would like to do the rebuild while still driving mine.  I am fairly certain that mine needs rings since I have done just about everything else to it.

Also, I have another thread asking about swapping a turbo engine into mine.  I do not know how difficult this is, but I suppose this would be a good time to pick that up if it is a swap that is possible.

Thanks in advance for any help.

To do a turbo swap right, you'll want a whole donor car.

The easiest route, is to go find an XR2 to drive.

The turbo swap is not as much a swap as it is a conversion, you can swap in just motor/harness but then your stuck with a ticking timebomb of a transmission. (turbo has beefier trans, larger better clutch)

If you'd like I can go into detail about the conversion.

I'm not sure where you could find a motor, there seem to be a handful floating around

Hmmm, that takes care of that.  I'll just keep my eye out for a decent XR2 when I have enough money sitting around.

OK, now to narrow the search then...Does anybody have an extra engine sitting around that needs to be rebuilt before using?

I have a couple of engines laying around. Some need a good going over/rebuild.
