im not sure if i should do an engine swap or just rebuild my engine. does anyone know where i can get some aftermarket parts? header, intake, carb, cam? if i get another engine, what can i get that will bolt up to my tranny. id like to keep it if i can. if not.... what engine/tranny swap should i do. something with only a day or two if work as this is my daily driver as well as my racer wannaB. i thought i put a post about this already but i cant seem to find it. ive heard of a turbo starlet engine swap...but those are a lil hard to find for me. again, if you have any links that would help id love em..... thanks

Take a look at the entire 'Attn 3E Peeps' thread just below this one. Answers some of your questions.

there's two options for the carb. you can get a weber downdraft 2bbl carb and that'll have an adaptor plate for it, or you can find a carburetor from another car and machine your own adaptor plate. the latter is much cheaper.
