hmm, after a bit more digging it turns out I might be able to get all the parts to build a 4bt for about 3k. Interesting...plus the parts would be new.....

That sounds pretty reasonable. A 4bt is a common enough engine that the parts aren't hard to come by, and they're a common one for SUV and small pickup truck conversions.

Outside the box thinking is what is going to get us off the reliance for oil.
I believe everyone here is an outside the box thinker.
Some a little more than others, but outside we are.
I love being out of the box.
It was stuffy in there.
