Paul,
You had mentioned that FD (third gen) engines are hard to get. Not at all.
You can buy MANA factory rebuilt third gen engines all day for just over
$2000 (compare to Lyc!) from any of a number of shops (and they come with a
warranty and a new water pump). And the automatic starters/bellhousings
aren't that hard to get either. Lots of yards and people parting them out.
I paid less than $200 for both and automatic trans, starter and all the
accy's from someone converting his FD automatic to manual (don't ask why
someone would do this!). The FD automatic cars on the market are dirt cheap.

I stand corrected. I just don't see them out here in CA.
The eight year old used cars are still going for $15,000 and up 
automatic or no automatic.
