Somewhat getting my a** kicked trying to get a conversion completed. We have a decent chassis and a fresh 2.7 that has made the rounds from Ollies and Eksten's. Still running a small business and often prioritize kids/grandkids when it comes to free time. It is coming up on two years and currently attempting to work through oil lines, exhaust, do I need an external cooler or not??
All the guys who have done them, would you do it again? |

I'm curious too about Glenn or anyone else with degrees of regret. Is it mainly around costs, which I can definitely relate to myself, or other factors? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I am sure it is cost. To that point my bad business sense I look at my parts and price them so I make some but many items net me 10-15% because I look at it from my perspective and how would I want to buy parts for the conversion |

Jimmy T makes an aluminum oil tank for a ‘72 and iirc, it’s $2k. |
