I'm still in need of a 1.8L (94-97) intake manifold, as well as either a stock cat pipe, or an aftermarket Exhaust manifold.

Other than those parts, rebuild kit, pistons, etc are all in route and I want to get it running by next week (wish it could be done by salem, but atleast Andrew is gonna let me co-drive his 90)

anyone know of anything?
Thanks!

Ok guys- Im still in need of a good condition 1.8L block. I currently own 2, but one motor is seized (i guess its possible that block is salvageable still, just not sure yet) and the second block has some vertical grooves still after I honed it (I'm sure it could be bored over, but I already own a brand new set of pistons and rings for factory bore)

Anyone know of a block sitting around, or have any input? Maybe I should get bigger rings and just bore the decent block? Im assuming the seized block is going to be in the same condition really...
