Im just subbing for a couple days to announce the latest news... my ISP is still very sick and hopefully Ill have a new one next month. Brian... are you sitting down? Toby... brace yourself... Dan... you can start to smile... Jim, You might need a box of tissues! A couple weeks ago a former local club member who had moved out of state offered the remaining of his stash up for grabs. Among the items was a complete T4 914 1.7L engine! Suddenly my vision just seemed to go dark... next thing you know I was out there in Buffalo with a couple buddies hoisting this thing into the back of the square! Its home now... 300 miles and of course now I need to learn all about T4 motors and the conversion because I think SOMEDAY... probably years from now when the motor in the Square finally wears out... well, I have this nice building block! The motor was supposedly running many years ago but has set up.. and has a CARB *ptui* sitting on top of it (you can imagine how fast THAT is coming off there!). I still need to find out if the 1.7 is easily converted to a 2.0 but I dont think it can.. and of course it will be D Jet. Oh boy... so many thoughts, so many projects... and so little light!
