Got the fuel tank out of the donor vehicle, and the rest of the car is going to the big scrap yard in the sky. It had about 6 gallons of off road diesel in it, so that is going in my furnace. Now I have 2 oddly shaped plastic tanks and (looks like) and easy swap from the gasoline in tank sending unit to the diesel one. Injectors are out of the engine, testing and shimming to be done asap. Marvel's in the cylinders to free the pistons. Head may come off this weekend. Injector pump will be left alone, for now. I'm also getting exhaust noises from in front of the cat, and the left drive shaft is starting to click. I would MUCH rather modify than repair.
