Alright guys,
I'm brand new to the forum, and opels all together. I enjoy working on cars, and must have some kind of attraction to not so popular ones (already own a 76 el camino, now i'm on to opels i guess) I found two engine's in my greatgrandfather's barn. They are in AMAZING shape for there age. After asking my still living grandfather about them he informed me they are identical engines out of a 1980 Opel. They were test engines (for the manufacturing plant) and have 0 miles on them. They still turn over, and everthing still has oil on it. I just need to know where to find the parts... and what kind/size engine they are.
Heres some numbers i pulled off them
Off of intake manifold: 90106820-88-1
Off of Block: 4721608
90090474
0222
Can anyone tell me what engines these are and if they're worth anything. I also need to know the best place to find parts, and I need to know what transmission (perferably manual) to match it up with and were to find one of those aswell. Also do they make headers for these, I have no idea what i'm going to do with the engines.. any suggestions.. Opel's are hard to find, maybe i could make an opel dune buggy or something..
(sorry if i offended anyone with anything I've said, I know how many car enthusiasts take things said about their cars the wrong way. I'd punch someone if they said "spoiler" in the el camino forum I belong to, and I dont want to do anything like that in here, remember, I'm new)
