Yay, first post.
I've acquired a 1997 Eldorado Biarritz (sp?) for a very ambitions swap project. It has blown head gaskets. Engine, as far as I know, is not fixable. Damn aluminum blocks...
So ambitions, I'm looking for a fallback position, if I give up on the original prospect.
There has to be a turbo4 or 6cyl engine out there that bolts up to this trans. I don't care about being 'underpowered.' I'm looking for better mileage and reliability. N*'s just have too many issues, and I don't want to replace a bad apple with another bad apple. I don't care about speed. I have a bike for that.
What other engines will bolt up to the transmission in this vehicle? I've been looking for info on this for months. Apparently, I don't know which rocks to look under, cuz I've got nuthin'.
