Well, I was going with the 84 until I read the rust part. Go with the GT. It's possible to retro-fit some things, maybe a B21FT engine. Also if your tech is using it as a loaner, it's likely been well maintained. Does it have the B21F engine?

Also, the smoke from the dipstick hole on the 84 would mean to me that the rings are really worn. Lots of blow-by. (blow-buy?) Is the 84 engine a B21FT? Can you get them both, rebuild the B21FT and put it into the 242GT?

Good Luck,

Bob
