If that car has been sitting in grass for a considerable time, it will have a lot of rust underneath. If it's a project you want to tackle, get a look at it underneath the body. How many miles on it ?? A powerwasher is the first tool you will need in the engine compartment.
The oil pump that Bruce mentioned is on the right side/bottom of the timing cover, and the impellers (gears) are removable, if you want to inspect the housing they are in, for wear etc. The impellers may be available, don't know, but as Bruce said, the timing cover isn't.
Of course an engine change/update to a later type has been done by folks on this forum. |
