And I'm not exactly sure why you would want an L40, but they are all over every junk yard around here. They are notorious for cracked heads, so I don't know how easy it would be to find one in good condition. You should probably look for a car that was obviously in a collision (preferably T-bone or predominantly rear end damage), would be the best indication that the engine might be in decent condition.

I had bought my 086 head from them...but like we've already said, using that head is like playing with fire. They would be better off with the top end rebuilt as a DOHC (although they would need the timing chain housing and EPROM from a DOHC Quad4 as well).
