Your last paragraph is what I was mentally constructing for a reply while reading your post. My '82 Diesel wagon was dying in the mid '90's at the height of the conversion popularity and I stored it for 15 years awaiting time to do the V8 conversion. The nearly 3 years of conversion have been one of the most rewarding of my great number of hobby experiences. Doubled down on swap hobby by writing an extensive forum thread documenting all the detail work necessary to get this done.

Just received the fuel pressure regulator needed for conversion of the body to the engine. Of course I now have to create the connection to the engine. This thing should run this week!

I used a 11k mile engine/transmission in this completely rust free 30 year old Volvo which will, shortly, produce a daily driver car for a great number of years.

Enjoyed this so much that I just bought a completely rust free '81 Bertone Coupe to either restore or do an engine swap in. As a hobby this just keeps on giving!

The picture links do not work (figured it!). If someone would offer some advice on pic posting on this forum I will go back and edit. I tried to use (<)img scr= but am obviously doing something wrong (left out the '). Also, how do you activate the web links?
