Evening. Welcome to the site.

Sounds like you've a task ahead. Let me be the first of many to ask if you could post up some pictures of the wee beasty.

Its likely to be a 1.8 gte if it is a 1985 or 1986.

The head from the 1.8 is desirable to those with 2ltr bottom ends as I think the valve ports are larger. Bare that in mind if you have to rebuild the engine too.

Good luck, welcome and get some pictures!!

You can tell if it's 1.8 or 2.0 by the distributor. If the distributor is fixed then it's a 2.0. Also on the 1.8 the throttle body is a twin butterfly.

Not being funny, but if possible could you type less in txt style please - it's very hard to read. If you have a genuine problem with typing don't worry :)
