After living in harmony for 34 years it's time for the car and engine+tranny to say goodbye to each other. Yes, I spent some good money and a countless amount of labor to bring the stock engine up to close to perfect condition a few years ago. Everything that was not in tip-top shape was fixed, replaced, upgraded or improved. Well, one might say it was all for nothing but, hey, I achieved my goal and was very pleased with the results. I am not planning on ever selling the engine or auto transmission and even though it is very unlikely to ever be reinstalled in 1283 again, there is a certain value to keeping the matching numbers together.
