Recovering from cancer treatments right now but getting better each day - going back to Ok. this weekend to pick up the rest of my tools and the last of the car parts from our move to Tn. back in june - so I will be getting back at it in a couple of weeks - so I am thinking that I will be running by early spring -- planning on a 2.5 4cyl auto trans from a Dakota for the power train -- had a 225 slant 6 for it but the grandson got the car stuck in a muddy field and blew it up - cant seam to find another one but I will keep looking as that is what I would really like to have in it - but I can always change it when I find one-more pix on my profile page if your interested - jaxx

Glad to hear all is getting better for you !!!!! Neat Project, I would not think it would be to hard to find a 6 with a trans?
Happy to hear the move went well. I know one of my friends are moving to a different county because the property taxes went up too much for them ! They live up North of Nashville TN.
