Well, a dart block is good.
But i guess you're asking with a budget in mind, and in that sense, unless you've got something unique, if it's got a dead donk, just scrap it and buy another AU for whatever they're going for these days. A few hundred bucks?

AU engines are dirt cheap, so go with the lowest km engine you can find. Ideally you'd like to hear it run before committing to one which isn't always possible.

no way i'd be spending $3k+ on a $2k 'on a good day' car
i mean check out what stu paid for that 75th anniv AU's are pocketchange cars now. are you seriously getting a new motor cos it's done 250k and has a leak? my motor has done 742k and has had a timing cover seal leak for at least the last 9 years. you know what i do? drive the bstrd. cos thats what you do with AU's.
