I was of the impression there were multiple certified bostig installers, other than just the Tec Shop in Washington. Perhaps i'm wrong? Any mechanic should be capable of it. Yourself included."

I'll jump on Craig's "do-it-yourself" bandwagon here, and that takes into consideration that I have not done this, nor any engine conversions. I could do this one in my carport, with the tools I carry in my van, MINUS the engine cradle/hoist, which I would rent.

If you're going to have someone in the Seattle (why did you choose that city, considering your city of residence?) then I'd suggest contacting Daryl at AATransaxle.com. The man! for this in that area AFAIC.

You're going to love that motor in your '85.
