79avengerGL

a 1UZ-FE sounds good

thanks cletus

i've seen alot of people ask this question but none have really been answered properly and i can't really find anything on the internet so what my question is what are my options in doing an engine conversion as in what drops straight in to the avenger or very minimal work needed to be done if that makes sense

oh yea the ignitions easy enough to wire up but replacing all the wires and everything else that got burned out could take a while

yea most of the wiring in the car is messed up..about a grands worth of electrical repair..but to get running just needs a new ignition which i just bought a new battery lead which i already have and possibly a new coil but not too sure about that yet.

only reason the wirings so bad is coz the guy i bought it off decided to let his mates play around with it even though they have no mechanical knowledge at all..they ended up pretty much burning everything out. =/

any help on the many issues this car has would be appreciated =]

it is matt black with don't think it was maroon originally though coz the bonnet is a sort of orange colour with no grill

yea they did but it's kinda hard trying to find avenger parts in chch suprisingly

well i have a few plans for this car mainly just get in to good condition again coz this one hasn't had the best life =/..i was just wondering what my options were..might swap out the 1.3 for a 1.6 out of an escort or if i can id really love a 1.8 . a 1.3 is just too small for me

i just bought a 1979 chrysler avenger 1.3GL not too long ago its only a 4 speed and i dont really know anything about these cars and was wondering what i could get a 5 speed out of?
