    I have a parts car with a good engine but a good amount of rust on the under-side. Kinda far from you, but I'm willing to help if you get desperate.

    I could easily pull it in a day and run it to you for the cost of gas. Say $100 for the engine and then whatever gas is. It'll be in a Yaris, so gas will be pretty cheap. I know the engine is fine. It was driving when I parked it after I got a nicer body Festy.
    Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

        Doesn't have to be. But no, it's EFI. Only thing you'd need to do is change the manifold/carb and distributor over and put in the fuel pump in the head. Trivial stuff.

        I could easily leave that stuff off it if you end up wanting it.

          Not really necessary. I have a carb with a stock EFI fuel pump in the tank. I just slowed the fuel pump speed with a resistor and added a bypass pressure regulator. Works great.

            Well his car is factory carbed so, much easier to just use the fuel pump that's already there I would think.

              You would either have to fab a pickup tube that is the proper length or just change the tank completely. Personally, I would avoid the smell of gas fumes and having to crawl around under the car.

                No no he has a factory carbed car. He just needs an engine. Everything for the carb is already there.
