Thornville is roughly half an hour SE of Columbus, 15 minute south of Newark.
Close to me, but I’m very novice on automotive mechanics, so probably not a use for me to go look on anyone’s behalf.
I *might* be able to assist with a “sight unseen” purchase and storage for a short time, especially if I can find something along your route to bring to me :)

You see, in place of the mewing box of kittens the factory lovingly placed under the hood, this 1997 Suzuki X90 has a tried and true SBC which should move it from Twinkie to Ho-Ho-Holy E36 M3! Actually it's not a 350 Chevy engine, but the much rarer 358 Cherolet topped with a 750 CFM Elberblock Carberator. You may remember Elderblock from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Seriously, I love a seller who spells even worse than I do. Makes me feel like a big man.
And commenter mkbruin responds, almost as a challenge,...:
The x90 has only one purpose in life:
To be the perfect car for any man's high-school or college aged daughter.
It has no back seat. It has no "bed". It is too gutless to get into any kind of trouble, while also being awd for inclement weather safety. There is no way to pile a dozen friends into it. It has minimal offroadability. Plus, its "cute", and rare enough that she'll feel unique.
Its perfect.
Adding an SBC ruins the only thing the x90 was good for. It now has absolutely no purpose to live.
