Larry, I'm wondering if opposite can also be done...... say putting pencil plug engine into older loop style glow plug pre-79 chassis.

Scratching my head, am thinkin '79 would be cut-off year for anybody who wanted to put say, modern 616/617 diesel engine into highly desireable 110 finbody........ assuming that glow plug update kits dont reach back to 1960's vintage.
