Okay, good deal, Hope it goes well, if beefed up and ceramic coated and you keep your hardware in good shape you might be able to nurse it along for a long time.

I feel your pain in your location, I used to have a American Muscle car (1963 Nova SS with a 327 V8) while living in Turkey and Germany. It was a serious PIA getting parts and anticipating my maintenance needs as well as a tight budget. I could order from the US but typically it was 4-6 weeks to arrive. On time an order was held up for a simple chevy fuel pump when the order guy wanted clarification on the fittings.... my answer was "I dont give a ****, just send a V8 fuel pump" sheesh,, if it had an extra port for a return id just block it off,,, sheesh, it held up the order and parts for a really long time. This was back before the internet was what it was.
