| RE: NEED ADVICE ON 450SE
The money you will pay to restore it is better put towards paying for a top notch version - that's more of a parts car. I've had fantasies about nursing a car like that back to health - better to buy the best one you can afford from a dry state.
As far as an engine swap - they're very reliable - and powerful, too with no emissions.
Good luck!
