    Finding, pulling, and overhauling the engine will be the easy part (obviously). I've got a lot of research left to do to find out how to make it push my truck. I figure while I'm overhauling it I'll get a much better understanding and hopefully put together a viable game-plan to make it work. It'll be tough but I think it's doable, and I think it'd be a fucking sick swap. Those engines are everything proof. Lots of low-end grunt too.

    They look good, only about 40k on it when I pulled it iirc. I'll dig it up and snap you a pic in the next day or so.

    That's the one

    I've been seeing people slling the whole car for $1k and less. I'm keeping my fingers crossed to find someone who doesn't know what they have and the body of the car is beat to shit, rusted out, or has a salvage or missing title.

    Something like this:

    49421FB5-C252-4F5B-9B89-0FF8C3E4BB59.jpg

    I believe that car has the engine but I'll need to pop the hood and look... If they ever respond to my email, text, and voicemail.
