i think it costs $100 -$150 for a complete engine (no trans) and i think it is another $80 for the tranny. i was there about a month ago, so the cvcc's should still be there.here is the address and phone number. enjoy.

Jerry, if you want to go for ease of installation, just go with another '75 CVCC engine. They'll run just as well as the later ones, but a header is lots easier to find. They seem to pop up on e-bay about once a month, and they're for '75 only. Otherwise, go with a later (76-79) CVCC engine.

That is, unless you want to do a swap with a later fuel injected engine, then you're only limited by your imagination, skill and budget.

Hey everyone! Would anyone be up to a meet in So Cal? I have never been to a 1gen meet before. I also have a del Sol and have been to hundreds of meets including our annual vegas invasion meet. One meet we have about once or twice a year is a fix a sol day where we meet at someone's garage and fix, modify, whatever to our sols. It would be cool to maybe do the same for 1gens.
