Subject:Lil Help 'Bout a rebuild
From:Rob Rubin

Well,  here's my plan.........I have an 83.5 westy who passed on about two
weeks ago and am planning to rebuild her........The stuff I am leaning
towards is as follows :

the engine is coming from A V P in Sacramento, it will be the 1.9 to 2.1
conversion.........What do you all think ?

I also will be doing the exhaust....was about to do the S& S headers  High
Flow deal and have them ceramic coated.......But some fella just wrote about
how they are thin.........What would the consensus be on the exhaust ?

I don't do the work on the car myself , I just drive the
thing..........however the original engine lasted 250,000 MI and am hoping
that what I am about to do will give me another Ten years of happy motoring !
