Subject:Wanted: decent WBX engine for '84gl
From:Stephen Steele
Date:Thu, 27 Sep 2001 23:54:45 -0400

A friend's '84GL blew head gaskets after 290k on the odo and the original
engine. He does not know if both blew sides but has decided to look for a
"newer" replacement engine.  I have offered to do the switch over for him.

We live in Southern Ohio; but he is retired, very mobile and willing to
drive for a deal. I mentioned seeing a Westy on the list in NJ, but he
prefers just the engine, please. That distance didn't seem to bother him.
I, on the other hand, might entertain the idea of a complete Westy to haul
back and part out for my collection giving him the engine. The price must be
right though, as my time is limited lately*.
Contact me by reply.

Thanks.
