Thes guys do it all the time. Used or reman electronic engines are readily available. Another example of the Revs BS Oh wait. I found it. A grand total of one truck on the site - an 87 Pete. Also, no price listed for anything. :roll: I know reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, but I never said it couldn't be done - only that it would be expensive. :roll:

Kustom sells conversion wiring harnesses for about $2,000. There seems to be a cottage industry springing up selling new glider kits, built with reman pre-emission engines. Kustom was the first place I saw doing this. I have since seen a couple of others getting on the bandwagon. If you get the frame pre-drilled for the suspension you will use, putting a glider together is super easy.

I know how to read. Those are YOUR exact words- posted Wednesday, February 06, 2008 at 6:07 PM.
As I see it you have two choices; find a school that teaches remedial reading and critical thinking skills to adults, or go into into politics, if you really think you can deny your own words. Or maybe baseball. Bonds, Clemens and Vassago, all in the Hall of Shame.

Because of new enviromental regulations, when it was rebuilt, all the fliipin epa crap was installed. Not good. :evil: :evil: :evil:

I never thought I would like paying payments, but I did have a money pit.
