Question type: General

what is my better option, swap out for a new engine or rebuild the 2.2 in a '83
rampage? my 14 year old son is considering it for his first car.

That depends on your budget. A quality rebuild will cost thousands if you can find a good shop to do the work.

Thanks, we’ve talked about putting a 6 cylinder in there. I’ll start in that direction. If I’m going to spend money it’ll be well spent.
