I have been tinkering around with this for a long time and I am finally ready to drop it in my Festiva.
I completely rebuilt it, bored the cylinders over, had the crank ground, 3 angle valve job on the head and had it trued and put it all together with a full gasket set.
I also replaced the timing belt, water pump and clutch.
When it's done I will have about $800 invested.
Now, many of you probably think I am crazy to spend $800 on a 1.3L engine for a Festiva but I disagree.
In my area, eastern NC, cars like this with 100k+ miles easily sell for up $1500.
I originally paid $900 for the car and if I can drive it to work for the next 4 years I will more then make my money back.
