I swear, I'm on the verge of putting my precious (om617) in a gasser body. I'm seeking a 'friend,' who will loan/rent a space where I can do this.

I intend to clear all the attachments to the 380 engine and transmission before I move the gasser from it's storage so that pulling the engine and transmission will be a matter of unbolting the transmission cross member and motor mounts.

I will drive the diesel to the site and detach the engine and transmission, lift it out and bolt it in the gasser body. I will immediately move both cars and all parts to another locations. One car for storage, dismantling and parting out and the other to make a complete car.

I hope to move the diesel engine and transmission in a single day. I would give the low mileage (100K) 1985 380 engine to anyone who would furnish a space and help me make the change. It needs a(nother) fuel distributor. It has a new chain and the latest metal chain guides. I have a ton of relays, idle boxes ignition parts that go with the 380 engine.
