Hello Robert, The first thing I would do is make sure that the rest of the engine is in very good condition before paying $1200 for a head. If you have any friends that do custom automotive work, maybe you could adapt another engine to fit. This is normally done with rear wheel drive vehicles, but it isn't impossible with a front wheel drive. Major electrical work would have to be done unless you decide to use an older VW diesel. Let us know what you do, either way. -- Martin Klingensmith infoarchive.net nnytech.net
