Thanks Wayne, I appreciate the help. Im really new at this. Without your books and this site, I never would have attempted to do any work on this car.

By punched out, I meant is there and easy way to tell if the displacement has been changed from 2.4 or if it had been bored over. A PO has spent some money on this car at some point adding the flares, webers, H4s, brakes. It wouldnt surprise me at all if I found out the car already had cams or if had been increased to 2.7, etc.

If the engine turns out to be something like S spec or a 2.7 with cams, Id fix the existing oil leaks, add tensioners, rebuild the carbs, and put it back in the car.

If turns out to be a fairly stock 2.4 T motor, I'm thinking of selling it off. Id keep the webers and go for a 3.0 or a 3.2 short stroke with the carbs and a nice cam setup.

Best case is that I clean up the existing engine and put it back in the car. I'm trying to make sure I know what Ive got before I start changing things like the front suspension components.

Thanks again guys.
