Well i tried what i could to try and fix the broken studs in the head.

and everytime i have failed, and the car is just laughing at me.

I tried JB welding bolts to it

i tried drilling out the bolts

this car is killing me.

only other option is getting new heads

i think i should part it out and try and find another one it better condition.

what do you guys thik i should do?!

Funny you should post this, my 92 Max is in desperate need of an engine [lifter problem, poor compression] but I'm holdin on to it because my 13 year old son wants it. I need an engine...sigh...or a miracle. BTW if I keep it [and u decide to part urs out] keep me posted.

http://www.car-parts.com will help you guys search for engines around your area. You may be able to request one from an engine importer.

My advice is to replace the motor, if the body is in good shape.

Agreed.

Remember, you can use a Z31 VG as well. You just have to relocate the dipstick tube and you're set.
