You should consider swaping in a 3L... Its cheaper than gettin a whole new body/car and registering it (300)... Even if it is a little bit of work. I found a 3.0 with 1660 miles on it for $540 in Greenbay WI.
"its always cheaper to fix up the car you have then buy a new one" - some old guy who might have known what he was talking about.. maybe
