Don't worry about Ted, every day is a bad day for him.

Rebuild it with some simple mods, nothing too crazy. The things I listed are easy, effective, and make a difference. Also, I would say to upgrade the radiator, and maybe go e-fan with a SPAL controller, but it might not be necessary in NJ.

Good luck man!!

Ted's just grumpy until he figures out you're not some kiddie with pipe dreams of dorifto mastery with the rotary.

It's not easy maintaining a 7, let alone with a full family.

get it back on the road. You won't be disappointed in the NA motor.

YOu won't be doing much computer tuning but you'll do similar adjustments on the electronics (tps, crank angle sensor, etc., etc.)

YOu have to take the motor apart and see what needs to be replaced and what can be reused.

Which makes perfect sense. They are sacrificing safety either way. lol
