        Hey, I didn't know there with DSM guys on the list.

        I was looking for some advice for a '90 Laser 2.0 non-turbo I have.

        The timing belt went and the piston smacked the valves on the number 3
cyclinder.  I have the head off and I'm trying to figure out what to do

        Ideas so far:

        1. Get a used head.  Cheapest I can find is about $175.

        2. Get a used engine.  When they have them, the local yard wants $300 (I
think)

        3. Convert to electric.  Are there kits out there for this?  Is it
possible to home-brew.   This was just my latest crazy scheme, but if
anyone knows how to do it, I bet they're on this list.

        I don't really need the car, but I'd hate to junk it.  If I could revive
it cheaply it would be handy as a commuter.

        TIA
