7K, eh? A little out of my league. :-) Is that for a new motor?? I
seem to recall you saying you almost got one real cheap once, $600 or so?
Yep, it'd be a pain in the butt for sure, but I think the finished
product would be worth it. :-) I got some e-mail from a guy who once
put a V10 from a Ram in his Dak, and that was no picnic either;
there was a bit of cutting and custom fabricating involved in that
job.
