Well, after the engine is shut down, and I open the throttle body valve, lots of smoke come out of the engine...not to mention what comes out between the motor and the firewall...

Hooray for a blown head gasket! :)

I could drop $300 for new cooling stuff, gasket, and possibly more for a new block, but Im just going to go ahead and do the engine swap. $200 for a tranny and motor of my choice...Im going to go with this motor out of a 1990 Beretta!

V6 baby!!
