Believe me, no one was more loath to do this than me, but after 4 multi
thousand dollar rebuilds of the stock six (not to mention the number of
time stranded) it had to go (the engine that is).

My first tought was to put the rover 3500 v8 in but the cost was just
too high.  I can do the chevy conversion for about $1000 - $1200 which
is more in my price range.  I will let all know how it goes.
