Jeeps I can see, RX-7, would have never thought of that. I just thought it was another testament to not only the versatility of the platform, but its longevity. I mean, who is going to go through the trouble to do a swap like that and use an engine that has a shoty track record? To me, him using the L67 says that he has confidence in its durability and longevity.
Alas, however, there will be no swap in my immediate future. I did some pricing on some stuff just to see what it would run. I found complete, rebuilt engine tranny combos for around $1300 should the need ever arise. A complete rebuild kit for the tranny is just over $200. Clutch will run around $150, which I have never replaced before in my life. Ive helped on replacing one before but never done it myself.
So it will be interesting. Im hoping the Rodeo will make a long term storm chase vehicle. Im going to have to work on some laptop stands and radio mountings in the spring.
