:You're in luck, the parts car I'm buying is indeed brown. If you send me a check for
shipping, I can mail them to you. I am getting the car Monday, (17 Aug 98) and will be
pretty busy and distracted with it for at least a week, so why don't you email me and
remind me to pull them for you sometime next week. I'm so psyched about my new
engine that I'm afraid that I'll forget with everything else that is going on.
My email is:

I don't think you should have to swap the tranny out. By the way, what color is the interior? I'm looking for two sunvisors for my '72 with brown interior. I live near Sacramento so shipping probably wouldn't be too bad.
: Thanks.

: : As I was researching what it would take to swap a v8 for my six, I discovered how in depth an operation it was. I was told I would also have to change the radiator, tranny, exhaust system, power steering brackets and the power steering linkage. I began to reconsider the swap until HUZZAH! I ran into a guy with a 77 Mav 4door with a 302. It looks like $#!T, but runs well. I bought it for $500, and am now ready to swap.
: : My questions are:
: : 1) Is there any other parts I should pull? Front springs? Rear End? etc.
: : 2)Are there any differences between 74 and 77 that will cause me problems?
: : 3)It has a special carb. called a "Ventuary", what's the word on those, good or bad?
: : 4) Does anyone want any parts from it before it finds its home at the junkyard (Yes, the dash pad is cracked)? I live in Eureka, at the very northern tip of California, so shipping may be expensive.
