The OM603 is what made the trip to ND and returned. I have given the swap a bit of brain time. Consideration, not actual implementation. I suspect there will be a bunch of stuff that wants to be swapped with it. Change over from long wheelbase to shorter it a head scratcher. I think it would be less complex to put a 617 back in the hole.
