#4560, "Great deal on a 93 eclipse however need some input."
Hey guys whats up. I dont generally post in this section because up till now I have had no need to . Yesterday my brother called me at work to tell me that he had just bought a 93 eclipse for $450. Well I went over there and took a look at it afterwork and everything is in great shape except for the engine. The engine has a blown head gasket. The previous owner bought the car to work on and then didnt ever have time to do anything with it so sold it. My question is should we take the time to rebuild this 1.8 4g37 or can we pull that one and replace it with the 4g63 or make some other type of swap with the head or block. The car is a manual by the way. I just really have no experience with this little 1.8 and dont know what can potentially be done. So basically through all my rambling here I want to know what you guys think would be the best course of action to make this car put out some descent power. trying to keep the budget around $3000 here by the way. TIA
