Grave news.

I have a rebuilt short block 2.6 that was an 87 I think, and an 89 2.6 from a 2wd that is a wide block that I am parting out - it is supposed to run, but I haven't tried to start it yet. I plan to try before I pull it. I am in the 'burgh, so I am not sure how close you are to get either one - PM me if interested.

I'll keep that in consideration, although, if my engine is completely toast (non-rebuildable), I'd really like to find a dependable engine with EFI that's not a 2.6l. My local pick a part has a few 90s cars with 4g63s, should I pick one of those up?

All FWD 4G63 engines are narrow blocks so unless you are prepared to swap transmissions you're not going to be able to use them. That being said, swapping the transmission will open up options.
