 Looking to put an engine in that I am familiar with to make her a grocery
 getter, as I do not want to spent the $$ for a new engine. This baby is
 hacked, all FI stuff gone, single carb, etc...  It runs OK but don't trust it
 (rear cooling tin gone, smokes some).

 Anybody done it? Is it possible?
