I work out of Boston-it's exactly 70 miles from my house to south Boston-the

But, on the other hand, there's shift linkage, driveshaft, etc for a
engine/tranny swap. Manifolds gotta go either way, if one of the engines has the
CA setup and you want to get rid of it.
For my money, changing the head is easier/cheaper than changing the

This is most likely borne out is flat rate manuals for inline 4,5,6
