Fanning the flames..

Tiico motors address 3 issues that I felt were important when I did mine:

1. More power
2. Fits in with no mods to body
3. Easy to install (and I mean EASY)

No junkyard scrounging, no modifying, no deck-lid boosters, no old engine
with someone else's problems.  The vibration is because of some lame-O SA who
didn't weld a plate together right.  It is a pity that the Tiico has some
issues, otherwise it is by far the most simple conversion installation you
can get.  They do all the wiring for you, all the interfaces with your stock
wires, PS, A/C, and coolant.  Just toss it in.

I did mine with no help, in my driveway, with basic hand tools.  Easy.
