This has been covered before so I apologize right up front.
I was driving my 98 323 home from work today and thought what a marvelous little car this has been and is, It has 155K on the Odo and not a drop of oil does it use, nor does it give really any problems. That said at some point in the future the MTBF rate has to catch up with it and the engine will need replacing. I completely rebuilt the front end 3 years ago so no problems there. The body is rust free, interior in really good condition....so why change?
I am a 59 year old who does not need a new car to impress anyone....so if my 2.5 steel block went south today what would you choose for a replacement....of course buying a used engine...and I would want as much HP as possible while being normally aspirated
Thanks
Dwight
PS Im sure a engine will be easier to find than new coupe door cards.....LOL
