<VV> 180 or 140

[Spencer Shepard]

If you want to have the most "value", as for resale, it would be worth it to
convert it. If you want to enjoy driving it, and aren't a mechanic, leave it
a 140.

I think you can check the body tag to be sure it was a 180. Some people get
real uptight about that.

I have a '66 CORSA convertible that was a 140 and made it a 180, but I am a
mechanic.

my 66  convertible was apparently a turbo car when new--found the rr lower 
quarter panel had the cutout for big pipe that has been glassed over--were 
turbo convertibles scarce enough to make me want to try to locaate a 180 w 
all parts and go back to original or leave it a 140 like it is now? Fresh 
rebuild by prior owner has forged pistons with 9:0 ratio--too much for 180 
top end?
