I am very interested in this... but I am in San Diego.  Do you think it would
be possible to ship it?  I know that UPS will ship packages over 100 pounds
now.  I would of course pay for shipping too.  Does it include the entire
engine, i.e. pistons, liners, and heads?  If so, I will take it, sight
unseen.  Please let me know... my 1800 is getting tired :)
