Oh I agree about the parting out thing for the pearlie it won't be parted out in such a way as to prevent it from being rebuilt just is my temporary parts bin since I will eventually rebuild that motor anyway.

I am gonna try and talk them down just not sure if I want to drive that car 65 miles back to my house hoping there is no big issues beyond what I know. I looked around on many websites and didn't see too many SVX's below $2K and some had either engine or transmission problems and asked for more. Ha one even promoted the car as a 4 cylinder 4x4.

Thanks for the opinions I am just really trying to weigh the pros vs cons and look at the cheapest and fastest way to get to my end goal for having the car I want the way I want it. And will eventually sell the pearlie.

ps if anyone has a lead on parts for a 4.44 swap let me know...!
