    D150 with a RV 440, just to see what it will run

    Nope, you're not. That's how I ended up with a garage full of crap. And I'm still looking.

    Nah- if you can still pull the dipstick out of the sludge, it's good.

    If this guy can do it with an LS, you could do it with a 318! Snowmobile with a Turbo LSx V8

    D150 with a RV 440, just to see what it will run

    In my younger days I did a lot of snowmobiling, skiing and ice fishing. Now I've decided that I much prefer a warm fire, a hot toddy and a hound dog on my lap to sitting on a five gallon bucket in the middle of a frozen lake at 6 am...

    D150 with a RV 440, just to see what it will run

    Yes, the cold sucks. Heating two buildings (home and shop) can be a budget-killer for some of us, too. But even worse is the salt-covered roads around here, which kind of eliminates any kind of cruising from Thanksgiving until spring rains in March/April. The only plus for me is that it gives...

    Will the earlier Scamp front end interchange with a '76 Scamp?

    Motor Removal re Motor Mounts?

    Or you just roll the car backwards, which is usually easier. Especially if you're using a chainfall or winch instead of a cherrypicker.

    Parts store dudes automatically defaulting to the MOST expensive parts they have.....

    But duuude, the computer don't list no 360 for a '67 Dart... Just wait until you tell them you need plugs for a '97 ram 2500 with a 5.9, and they tell you "Cummins don't have spark plugs"... EEAAGH!

    Motor Removal re Motor Mounts?

    With the hood open, loosen all four hood bolts. Prop the hood open with a broom handle or whatever. Remove the rear bolts, then remove the broom and allow the hood to pivot down. Run 2 lifting straps around the hood; one front to back and the other side to side. Two loops of rope will suffice...
