How do you guys deal with giving up on your car? Im at the end

Obviously put the engine from the one that broke in half in the one that blew. Have Crummy do it for you for a handjob.

How well do those 3-cyl engines hold up to 5000+ RPM?

They just make noise. Thing is they technically can't redline I heard because power is real low
Sounds almost like a nice v6

Already took it out. Now I gotta tow the other car home

You could engine swap it and change the bumpers/lights to become a 4-door Suzuki Swift GTi... Basically the same car.

You are already on the right path.

You should've thrown in the towel before you got stranded. Consider how much it will cost you to keep your car(s) running (and how many hours repairs will take you) versus how much your car is actually worth. Is your love of the car worth an extra $100? An extra $1000? Is it worth spending a month's worth of weekends doing an engine swap, replacing parts, and then still getting stranded on the side of the road? Is your love for that car in particular more than the love you could have for any other car?

I still miss my Roadmaster sometimes, but I don't miss the rusting body that was more fiberglass than metal, the rusting radiator and cooling lines, the stuck EGR valves, the leaking distributor caps, the dying hydraulic transmission, the fragile 24-year old plastic pieces (RIP parking break release and window controls), the practically consumable radio antenna motors, or the headlamp assembly that flew off like some fucking Speed Racer gadget on the highway.

I actually do miss that headlamp assembly. As in, it tumbled down a fifty foot ravine into a drainage ditch such that I couldn't find it, and is still missing.

I could fix all of that in less than 4 hours

OP keep going forward. You will regret selling the car you love
