My intake manifold corroded, allowing coolant to get into the combustion chambers. I have got the engine pulled apart at the moment (only top end).
The Alternator light started to come on, but this was only a set of brushes.
I have only had the car a few weeks and have already had a few problems. But it is a old car and you have to expect something to go wrong. After I repair it, I don't think it will be a bad car.
I am also planing a engine swap in a year or so. I have a SR20DET and gearbox to put in it. A friend of mine has done a V8 conversion, A holden 308. The suspension has coped well, but he has blown up a few diffs.
I use it as daily transport and for some off road driving. I don't have many complaints as I realize it is an old car, you get what you pay for.
An info on the V8 conversion? Did you ever do it? (not sure how long ago you posted your info). I want to do it as well. I have a General Motors 350 I want to put into my '85 ST 720.
Thanks,
Anthony
