'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?

Thanks,
Robert

For several you need the bell housing as well.  Still kicking myself.  I had
a list at one time for doing L4 mods and lost it.
