can't kill the 2.3 :)

I bought a parts car the other day for the 5-speed and pedals for my V8 project.

Anyway I drove it home, it wasn't a long trip but the engine didn't have a drop of oil (knocked like a SOB), fuel filter had a huge hole, spark plug wires were rusted beyond anything I've seen. Radiator was tornup and the fan was seized. Once home I put some oil in there and the engine stopped knocking, changed spark plug wires and it ran smooth... hell even with the rusted wires it ran smoother than my ZX2 I managed to spin the wheels a little too lol

Now I am thinking about converting it to an auto and fix it up a little (very little) for cheap and use it as a daily driver when the ZX2 is sold.

I've heard it before... but I bought this car to put the pedals and whatnot into my project Mustang... I think the transmission will hold up until I get the cash for something better. It sucks to take apart this one in a way because I will need another daily driver soon.
