I wouldn't put another engine in it, fix the original one and it will be worth more. That and the engine may well be a high compression one as compared to the ones that where build for the US market. If you are going the new engine route I would suggest you find a wrecked SL or SLC and swap over, something like a 380 or 450 would be good. However if you are gonna get serious make sure you check for rust, even with a stuffed engine 3K is pretty cheap for an 85. Would be worth at least 3x as much over here, even with a buggered engine.
