[goldenmean]

hello everyone. well my festiva engine finally died on me i have a 1988 festiva and the piston rings are gone and head gasket is also gone so i would like to do a swap out among other repairs to build my beloved "dragon" back to life.my question is what year engines are compatible with this year and can a automatic engine be swapped in to a manual (my mechanic says yes). the vin # starts with a k fyi.any info and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.i am looking to do an entire makeover on the "dragon" and i will try to post pics throughout the process.thank you everyone.
