1973 S Targa

[gkahrs]

So once I got the car home the process of sorting out parts and disassembly began. The sad news was the original engine case was missing. Apparently the guy who was going to rebuild the engine for the previous owner disassembled it and sent the case out to be machined (this was 10 yrs ago) and it was lost. Nobody knows were it is and my son and I have looked very hard for it and placed many adds. The search is still on but a donor case was going to be needed, but I was in luck. My son, mentioned above, had recently found a '73T coupe that had been sitting in a drive way for years and talked the owner into selling it. It had not run in years and after towing it to my house, he had it running over a weekend. That car had a weak 2.7 in it and came with the original engine (very tired) and another spare 2.4L that became my donor engine. I had the original cams, heads, crank, cam towers, shroud, etc.... Just no case. BTW it's number is 6330177 and I'm still looking.
