what problems should i look for after the quick fix?

before you do an engine swap, find out what the condition of the motor is by doing a compression test, look carefully around the motor and look for any leaks, check all gaskets, intake, exhaust, head, throttle body, make sure that motor's in OK condition, you don't want to have another problem on your hands.

Ya sounds like everyone has hit the nail on the head with your problem.
I have a 1985 with a granny driving 2.5 with 36k on it car is in great condition for being almost 25 years old - new clutch kit / fly wheel - ect... new brakes ... many new others .... i posted it in here already - i am asking 680-700 $ let me know if u want it - i got a guy that offered me 500 but its worth more plus i spent about 300 in parts on it gettin it into a solid turn key car... body is nice engine is nice just need to be cleaned up after the swap from a 2.2-2.5 the 2.2 i had - broke a rod - guess that was my sign to find her a nice engine in good condition... that offer is open to anyone else that may be interested....

if u calculate 36k miles to 20 years to compensate the car - that makes it about 1800 miles a year on the car....

i found an 88 reliant k car with a 2.2. rear end smacked and it was totaled. u think this will work for me freak. he was sellin for 100 but i might be able to just haul it away.

I am in NJ


i wouldnt put a 2.2 in unless it was turbo charged ,... but it would prob be ok for the time being ....... how good of condition is the engine - how many miles an how well was it taken care of?

yeah, I'm sure that'll work, find out how many miles are on it and see if the motor's in ok condition and you should be fine.

try getting it from underneath; there should be enough room between the crossmember to wiggle your arms through.
