He doesn't have an engine in his car and is looking for recommendations. I told him it depends on what he wants to do with the car....and to use Google translator. He's speaking Italian.

He's got a mid-70s truck engine in it now.

As others have said, pretty much have to speak English here if you want to get a discussion going.

It all depends on your intention. If you are keeping it, you can do what you want, value would not be an issue, until you sell. If you are selling, it would best best to find an engine that matches as close as possible to what was originally there, in order to possibly increase the value.

That is up to you. You can drive and enjoy the car with the existing engine.
