I'd be up for that. Just as long as you like looking at stock engines :-)
The first thing that gets modified on mine is the 5-spd. As soon as I can
figure out how to go about improving it.

No offense taken here. I went to Utah blissfully unaware. Who knew it snowed
in the mountains in October (doh!). We started a mountain bike ride one day
at 7000ft. The trail climbed to 11,000 before working down and around the
mountain back to near the start. At about the 10,000ft mark we looked at
each other in our jackets and shorts, and the 4 inches of snow and thought
'This is stupid'. We about-faced and did a 3,000ft descent with freezing
water spraying across our bare legs arriving at the car just in time to
avoid a short but violent storm.
Basically we had fun and came home smarter.
Dak content: Wish I'd had the Dak. Drove an Aerostar van at the time and did
it ever wheeze it's way up the mountains.
