Subject:1984 1.9L, 71,000 Miles Engine Available
From:Beley, John

We are the original owner's and have replaced a good running wasser
boxer with a good running engine of Japanese origin.
 
The details of the original 1.9 engine are:
-at about 50,000 it had major work done to the head and related
components due to a coolant system leak problem.
-other than that, routine oil and filter, plug changes, etc
-it was still capable of "pegging" the needle at 85 MPH on a flat road
surface up to 4000 feet elevation. I don't know about higher altitudes,
but we have traveled up to 9000 feet recently (last year's ski season)
but because uphill and/or twisty...Well, you know.
-The engine is in the Ventura/Santa Barbara area of California.
-How does $700 sound? You pick up.
 
Pmail me if interested.
 
Thanks,
John B
