I am interested in your conversion.

What was the deciding factor in your choice of engine and did you have any install peculiarities unique to that engine.

Would you make the same engine choice again?

plus exhaust
plus muffler
plus tachometer
plus clutch
plus flywheel

if a carbed motor add cables and linkage and turnbuckle

and running 3.2 motors aren't available at those prices really...

I think add it up and its alot closer to 8K minimum for parts

Plus accelerator linkage
Plus oil cooler mod
Plus oil external cooler & fans if you run them
Plus a lot of money in shipping all those parts you got great deals on

I cringe every time I see the $4/$5k number thrown out there. Like anything...you can find someone that has done it but it certainly isn't the norm and I can almost assure you that corners were cut. Just my .02 :-)

Oops! Edit - I do see the oil cooler was mentioned but I think $500 is a bit optimistic if you put it up front and have a shroud etc done right.
