Hey Lee, thanks for the info:

Do you mean that the mounts for an 1835 are essentially the same as my 1600?  I've
been slowly renewing my bus and have until now ignored the engine aside from an
occasional touch of oil :) and periodic tuneups.

I have no experience with buying used/rebuilt engines without a car attached,
and would love to hear juicy details about how much that might cost and if anyone
has had good or bad results from particular suppliers in Mass or New Hamster.
