It's alive! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />Found an engine in Vernal UT. (car-parts.com). Runs good, no ticking, but smokes after idleing. The heads from the dead engine did not crash, so I'm going to clean, check out, refresh and swap + t-belt stuff.

Driving the Gen II is great. Lots more power than the 3.0, feels better at speed. Holds 75mph w/no trouble. Put on about 200 miles so far, first mileage check showed 18+mpg.
