What do they say? As is it’ll do zero-sixty in ~3 seconds. All you need is a cliff and a push…

Oh man I just realized that’s in Craigslist/zip. If I didn’t already have 3 cars and a motorcycle (plus my roommate’s car) in the stable, I’d think about dragging that back up to the homestead.

No title is no problem, as long as it isn’t stolen.
Piece of cake.

Bonded titles are cheap and easy to come by.

I don’t go the bonded route.
I prefer a clean clear title, yes it costs a little more, and I don’t do any of the paperwork, but to each their own.

Marshall,

I have a Volkswagen Thing for recreational fun, and the engine is already in the back where it belongs…

Shame it’s gone. A friend of mine had one for decades, and loved it.

I don’t know about car titles. Be wary with boats though. Different system, very tough last time I had to deal with it (about 10 years ago).

No that motor is actually pretty light weight. They put it in Tube Sock, Dirt Every Day vehicle.

Dafuq? Neither the engine, nor warranty service is avaialable in Texas?!?

What stupid reg made it through Austin?

Warranty is only 90 days at that.

This would be a nice fit, but perhaps not EPA legal.
Can be bumped up to around 300 whp or more if you prefer.

Better?

Man I need to get back to work…

Their diesels have proven time and again more reliable than their gas engines. While that may not be a high bar, there is a reason Mitsubishi account for a very large segment of the diesel utility truck market.

Besides, what are the odds of crank walk in 2018?

Franchise rules in Texas and Financial laws for the warranty. We have some pretty tough hurdles to climb for consumer protection in those areas in Texas for the Warranty.

To be honest, I read Cummins and made assumptions… :blush:

Lol. I can understand that. It is by their specs 504lbs. The Escort engine & transmission that @LukeStrickland, @somecallmery & Allen worked on was less than that though
