How much just for the 180 page manual?     ;^)

That swap just looks too tempting and I'd really like to tackle it but....

As a samba poster commented a while back. With that engine (especially
if chipped) one might be wise to upgrade the brakes, suspension,
wheels/tires too. Comes down to ones driving technique,  (discipline)
but the upgrades kind of make sense.

My point: it all adds up!  ($)   And.....

thought the engine only sits ~ 2" above the deck, one also has to
"drop" the engine by ~ 1"

Still. Looks like a sweet swap.

Neil.
