maybe find out why the motpr nipped up? It'd be fucking cool to keep the original early series motor with matching numbers in a car this old and rare. If you wanna throw it on an engine stand, and perform an autopsy, let me know.

Try and keep the original engine if possible - you can use later L6 parts inside to replace bits that are a bit beyond reco. Those engines were produced in very small numbers making way for the L24 just a year after these first appeared. If budget is a concern - just put a L24/26 in there for now while you strip the L23 and do it correctly - this engine needs to say with this car
But then it is your car so do with it as you like

if you need any parts let me know. Im coming to nz next weekend and will have about 15kg of capacity
i might have some l23 parts left lurking about. Not manyparts from the later l24/26/28 will fit. the timing covers are different, the sump also.
