Lets see, early 948 head, problematic, many of them thrown away because of
this........ thus, it is rare and valuable.
I wonder what a recently running Yugo would bring on eBay. I just checked, and
there are none on there. You CAN find complete Sprites and Midgets on eBay every
day, but not a Yugo!! The parts are so rare, check out what the Buy it Now price
on 2 engines with trannys is!!!

It looks like I may be restoring the wrong type of car.........
