'For several'? You mean 'for sure', or, for several of the I4's? I'm not baggin' on ya, it could be me- I've been dense all week. Are you kicking yourself because you didn't get a bell housing or because you lost your list? I did notice the starter on the diesel was in the 12 o'clock position. Remember, I'm thinking about coupling the I4 to an auto tranny and this diesel had a manual... Alternately, I'm wondering what the worth may be in salvaging this stuff and selling it...? Any market for this stuff?

I had a list at one time for doing L4 mods and lost it. ........................................ jimt Planned insanity is best.
