Dealwithit, I like your "Getwithit" attitude,but I am wondering how far you are going to have to cut and move the center of the firewall back on that truck to get a 5 cyl. to fit where 4 in a row was meant to be ? I think your plan for a 240D swap was a better idea...or at least easier.
I don't mean to seem negative...just contemplating the swap along with you.
