^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That is me, btw.
Just to elaborate a little more on the truck...the body is all black in color, save for the roof of the cab, which is white. There is minimal body rust. It is all surface rust. I am unsure on the frame. I also do not know of the condition of the transmission, but I am 99.9% sure the motor is no good because the valve cover has been sittin' in the bed of the truck for 10 years. I don't know why the truck was parked either. Most of this information I won't be able to get until I return home to Texas in december.
Would it be worth the trouble to try and rebuild the engine, or should I just look for a used 1.8L to drop it?
Are there any other engines that are a direct bolt in with the stock mounts and transmissions? Right now, I am not looking for massive amounts of power, I'm just looking to get it running.
One last thing, with a truck sitting in the same place for a while, what all needs to be done to get it going again ? I know the fuel tank needs to be dropped, emptied, cleaned, and treated. Fuel lines will probably need to be either cleaned or replaced. Transmission fluid and brake fluid needs to be replaced. New battery. Anything else? This is all based on the assumption the engine will be replaced.
