hi all,

i am looking for a replacement engine for my '86 westy that just blew
a piston ring.  i'm not interested in doing a rebuild or an engine
swap in this chassis due to rust issues, but i would like to keep her
on the road for a little while longer without dipping too far into my
"sychro fund".

thus i am hoping to find a used donor engine from a wrecked van or
someone doing a swap.  i am in san francisco and would prefer to deal
with someone else in the bay area.  i could probably find a truck to
come pick the engine up.  a big plus if i could see it in the vehicle
before it's removed in order to test compression or even drive it if
the situation permits.

thanks in advance for any info or leads.

Ben.
