You wouldn`t be keeping a tally on my inventory now, would you?
Well actually 6 and 7 if you count the eng on the stand from the 85. then 2 Nissan SD-22 in the barn, and the 82 Datsun parts truck and it`s engine etc...

Now Iam going to Portland, Or. (740 miles) for another one? I need help.

You don't need help, you just need HD shelving to stack them, and a forklift to put them up there.

Current inventory ...

I have the following for sale:
a turbo OM617 --- Strelnik bought the clean w123 body this was going into.
2 cylinder Lister on an 8KW generator
3 cylinder Perkins 3.152
4 cylinder Deutz F4L912
4 cylinder Waukesha

Wish the shop wasn't moving. I'd still like to drop the Deutz into a Dodge 1500 or F-150 or some such. Having an air cooled engine in a vehicle does have ONE major challenge --- how do you heat the cabin for the passengers?

How much for the Deutz? I remember reading a thread about a guy who repowered an old Ford or Chevy pickup and ran the thing on straight crude oil pumped from the ground out in the midwest. That would be way cool!

Email sent to keep the clutter down on this thread.

Here are some links about the old Ford repowered and running on straight crude or anything else for that matter --- you have to scroll down about half way to see the OLD Ford:

iowahawk: The 2009 Iowahawk Earth Week Virtual Cruise-In

And here's a pic of a F4L912 sitting in a Ford --- again scroll down:

Maybe, but it's more of being jealous to be able pull off such a thing!
