        Thanks.  Labor isn't my problem (I work for FREE, well for me 
anyway), but, on the surface, American motors appear to be cheaper, at 
least as I thumb through auto parts catalogues, such as JC Whitney.  The 
thing that would make it costly for me is mounting, assuming the two 
engines don't share similar mating points, which I'm making a SWAG they 
don't.  
        I looked on the net earlier, but all I could find was info about 
transplanting V-8's into an MG, which isn't what I want to do.  Oh well, 
maybe it's not meant to be.  Thanks just the same.

say this: though starving, hunger will not weaken us; though diseased, 
illness will not cripple us, and though weary, exhaustion will not claim 
us.  We can fight knowing that all true Reiklanders will forevermore 
honour our valiant gesture of defiance, even though our bodies be left to 
feed the beasts of carrion.

        Mind you...we could always surrender."  -Rick Priestly's Siege
