So that's three sausages, including me, a truck full of oil (probably a total of 25-35 gallons, tools and a roof top and one passenger seat probably full of other necessities. With 67 bhp. Our route currently takes us through the Colorado and Montana rockies. Oh no. Most of the time will be spent in the west. I'm going to start lining up oil contacts (already have you listed, moon). What specific tools/parts should I be bringing? Any more tips/advice based on that manifest?

Forget the engine swap and make sure the 616 is functioning as well as possible. Carry replacement belts, hoses, thermostat and any tools necessary to replace them. Oh. And a good camera to document the trip of course.
