Guess I'd really call it a Late Onset Mid-life Crisis, Dave. I bought the V6 in '93 (I was 63) for the V8 possibilities that I'd been anticipating ever since the Ross Converse article in a 1990 Rolling magazine. I got the V6 running just for the experience (fuel issue as I recall), then worked on the V8 swap solo and fired it up ( 1st turn of the key) in 1996. Did it all including exhaust, a bit at a time. Put in a diesel radiator, had the front driveshaft cut to about 13", IPD 25mm bars & lowering springs, etc.

That's about all I remember, except modifying the 5/8"(?) hole in the right side motor mount bracket from Converse. That hole was horizontally in line with the left side hole, but the cylinder banks are offset (and thus the mount positions too). That made everything in the back shifted off-center to the left. "That's how I do all my cars" was the word I got by phone. So I went ahead and "moved" the right mount bracket hole forward about 1/2". All I can say is that it ran fine for me with the motor centerline "centered" v. canted left. More left side tunnel room that way too. It ran just fine on the K-Jet fuel pump w/tank pump.

Ah, the joy of cubic inches!
