Engine Replacing Question
 

hey guys, im new to the forum here. im about to get a 88 turbo II, but it needs some work. the compression is at low 60 and the owner says it runs for a bit, but cant hold it for long and cuts off. he says i would need a new engine. i been looking and wondering, anyway its hard to find a good turboII engine, could i use a regular n/a engine, but put the throttle, exhaust, and everything else on it. would it work ok? i tried to search it, and the only difference i found was that n/a rotary had different compression ratios. i dont remember them exactly, but remember they are different. but i just need to know, so i can try to look for a engine for it.

you guys think this car is worth 810.. n i would need to tow it back from nc to va? thanks guys.
