Lawrie,
The car sounds like it is in great shape. My dad and I want to try
our hand at the Rover v8 conversion and I think I would feel bad about
tearing apart such a nice stock vehicle. Ideally we would like to find a
car with a shot engine and trany, but good body. Thanks for the info
though. I'll pass it on to my dad and see what he thinks.
