We bought a pretty good condition Lapliner for $700. Got it cleaned up and (we thought) almost running. We believe the engine may have a warped head or manifold - water is getting into the cylinders. So now we have to make a decision to either try to get a replacement engine or replace part after part on this one or just cut our losses and sell it.
It has an inboard Ford 289. Any opinions on this engine? Or if it would be easy to find another engine to bolt into place? Any suggestions for what kind of engine or websites for help are greatly appreciated.
