Worth the effort?

Greven.

That car is going to need a LOT of parts....which will have to come for the USA. You will be in the same situation I am, paying a lot for shipping.
I think it is too far gone & not cost effective, probably cheaper to import a running jeep. It is not as if it is a rare car......
And don't use Fedex. I have just gone through the mill with them; had my last shipment delayed for nearly 2 weeks, while asked for asbestos declarations, quantity, price & use of every part. I dealt with call centres in 4 countries: Malaysia, Singapore, Australia & Philipines. I bought the parts from Summit & they refunded me the shipping cost because of Fedex's treatment.

I have no interest in the car just the engine, like I explained earlier I don't have the money to buy an interesting car and go from there, I can only afford an engine and treat it as a learning experience in rebuilding V8.
The parts needed for the engine are available in Swdeden, obviously not at US prices but still manageable.
