Klaus, thanks for the tips. I will look into that stuff when its time to do the engine swap.

I was able to buy a 1996 854 sedan on Saturday for $500.00 with a bad rack. Approx 110k on the drivetrain, so I should be able to get some good life out of the donor parts. Best of all it was 3 miles from my house so I could just drive it home! I'm usually not that lucky as I live in the country and nothing is close by.


Sadly its begun to snow here so the project may get shelved until spring when I can feel my hands again! Until then its time to start stockpiling consumable parts and read up more and more!
