Yes, she will live. It would have been gutting to scrap it, for the sake of an engine. The rest of the car is in fairly straight condition (but needs paint next year)
I've now bought a donor car that is very badly neglected, and has a lot of broken components at the front from accident damage.
So, it will donate to my car what I need, and then provide spares for others if wanted (see my separate thread here)
before being sent to the scrap yard.
This means 4 V8s off the road permanently in the space of 3 months here.
