A crate motor may indeed be a more simply approach to your situation.  Without a good supply of swap meet parts you  would be hard pressed to "build-one-cheaper".
Be sure and check Summit's prices on crate motors. I have found they are usually less expensive on almost everything automotive. Great selection too.  Also look at Skip White's selection of crate motors and prices. I have no personal experience with Skip White(other than an alternator) but have read several reports on the internet of  satisfied customers.
Yes............if I were in Belgium ...I would opt for the crate engine option.

......you want the rears to grab before the fronts....if not add a proportioning valve ..jj 

Huh?  One of us is bass akward, Joe.  In my 'sperience if the rears lock first the hiney is very apt to pass the front due to loss of traction.  If the fronts lock first you can't steer but the traction of the rear tires keeps the thing more or less straight.  At least that's what I've been told and what I have felt in the seat of my drawers.

You got it backasswards...lock up the fronts and you have uncontrollable steering and the back end whips out of control ...think of it as a motorcycle going 55 mph and you grab only the front brake hard 

WoW...thats scary looking stuff.....jj

Go on line and contact Midlife Harnesses......jj

Don and I got it in the trailer by jacking up one end and then backing the trailer under it. Then used long 2x6 as lever to lift the tail end while pushing. After a couple of miscues, it went right in.

Getting it out was alot easier. I told the movers that the cash I was going to give them for a tip had been locked in the top drawer of the toolbox and I could not get to it until the box was out of my trailer. They grabbed the big ramp from their 18 wheeler and a very short time later, the box and my tractor were in the garage. Work smarter, not harder!

New house has three car garage, and right now, NO cars can be parked inside. I have got to get rid of more stuff, or get a new building built.

Will be happy to give my new address to anyone that would like to come by to visit. Just email.

Don't forget to seal the garage floor........jj

Condition unknown ...comes with converter and flex plate....PU only in NJ.......jj
