I am sorry to say that my old pal the white 850 glt wagon affectionately known as the "fridge" has given up the ghost. She had a small tapping sound that has become a really loud slap in the engine, and I am going to replace the motor as the rest of the car is in really nice condition.It is a 20 valve 2.4 without turbo and the 5 speed manual transmission. I am going to replace the clutch while swapping engines. Does anyone have a good suggestion for an engine, or have a particular clutch that they like. THE STOCK CLUTCH WAS STILL GOING STRONG AT 197000 MILES. I dont know if I have ever made it that far on an original clutch before. I am really dissapointed that the motor didnt make it to the 300k mark. I am looking for suggestions on the replacement motor. Is there a vendor who rebuilds, should I just swap in a low miles junkyard motor. Are there any performance motors out there that I dont have to make many changes to use? Any hope of swapping in a turbo motor without modifications? any input would be appreciated. Thanks..Keith
