 Sharon,
 
That's right, I will try and cut costs anywhere possible and this time
meant doing the install I.  All the guys over at G0-Westy probably know
me by name from all the questions I had, but they were good about it.
They even called me back after answering my question, because they had
an additional concern for me to watch for.  As for the cost of
GO-Westy's labor, I never asked.  My Hp jumps from 82 to 105 and torque
from 105 to 130.  I have more to say about how the installation went
from the time I wrote last to now.  I will try to get to it soon, I have
some confessions.

Thanks for all the information about the new engine.  Do I understand
you correctly that you are installing it yourself?  This is something we
all have to face eventually with these cars if we continue to keep them!
In our case, we would have to pay to have the engine installed.  Out of
curiosity, how much does Go Westy charge to do the whole thing - new
engine and installation?  Of all the places around the central coast, I
don't think we'd go anywhere else.  There's no one else here that we
really trust!!  We've been fortunate so far that we haven't needed
"major" repairs, but you know it's down the line somewhere.  
 
Good luck to you!!  Does the slightly bigger engine mean more power?
