I appreciate any help and advice ..

Any idea what a stock 1600cc motor is worth?? She just wants it to be a reliable little driver for the times in the summer she takes it out..Or what is the best size motor to go with?

I have a 1600 DP taken out of a car on a swap to a larger one.
I could probably have it installed in New West if you want to look at this possibility. ;D
