Hi Biba
I wish I had the time to do an export business, If I had I would. As I said mine was bought on Ebay 55K miles apx with paperwork from the car some service records & the motor looked right. I would not buy such an item on e bay without at least this detail lots of pics etc. Sure I took a chance and maybe its got another 150K left in it or maybe just 50 k I have no idea. The motor in standard trim & FI is more than adequate for the weight of a bertone, in the rain it spins up in 3rd gear. Any more power would be a liability. Another reason for the conversion was the original motor was only good for 21MPG on leaded fuel which is now difficult to get here. The new motor is doing 38 on unleaded. If it has clean oil, good cams, compression & not been standing to long I would chance it. the worst scenario is to have to take the motor out again. I Hope this gives some of you more confidence.
