No harm, no foul, I say. I started thinking about it and the length of the drive was really turning me against it any way.

On a good note, I may have a lead on a complete 83 ready to roll. Hangs on whether the wife is willing to give her little 250 up to get both of us one and if the guy with the 83 is interested. Keeping my fingers crossed on both ends.

Boy if you can get an '83 GO FOR IT! :clapping:

I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this '83 engine! Many improvements over the '81. For example:

* Larger oil site glass made in a circle. I do not need a flashlight to see the oil level! :clapping:
* Beefier wire on the engine harness! :clapping:
* Better gearing so that 5th actually is overdrive! :clapping:
