Just let us know, I'm sure we can help you out.

Edit: If you decide you want to just have a long block or a turn-key built let me know...

Dlicious, thanks for the info, yeah I was totally floor when I read through the process of getting the Type IV and the prices on JR's site, but if he is the only person really offering an "easy" way to convert and it is as good as they say it is I can understand.


mk, Thanks for mentioning about you building up something, how long does it take you and how backed up on building engines for others are you.



I would not mind doing my own, the two biggest factors right now are that I want to get this thing on the road, and just the fact of being able to do it myself and have the resources around town (whether personal or a reputable business) that I can go, or shows pictures to and be able to get some good honest advice and work done if need be.

I'm always giving my neighbor a hard time when he says motor, too damn funny (or maybe it's just that I'm not right in the head)



As far as when I need the engine by, I am not quite sure, but I can say that thanks to Boom not helping a brutha out ASAP that I have an extra week to decide (I'm joking boom) actually thanks to boom I'm gonna have the beefier floor pan support.

No man, I said I was joking.

Anyway, If I head up there Saturday I can get a good look at what your working on and if your gonna take the engine and tranny out than I can watch

I always think its funny when people act like there's really a big distinction between "motor" and "engine." What about "motor sports"? When was the last time you heard it called "engine sports"?
