Well JIM in my opinon it will take some good old fashion engineering ability
of about 9 or 10- on a scale of 1-10 to do what you are looking at. I am
only guessing, however, if you do it or find some one who will, heck I'd put
my mini on a 01 toyota if I thought it could be done.

OK FOLKS WHO KNOWS IF THIS WOULD BE REASONABLE? I'VE BEEN TO ALASKA
AND BACK, OVER THE BEAR TOOTH HIGHWAY INTO YELLOWSTONE TWICE, AND
CAMPED IN THE SHADOW OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER LAST AUGUST. OUR HOME
IS IN SUNNY (HA HA) OHIO. WE HAVE ALWAYS WANTED MORE POWER OR AT THE
LEAST ANOTHER GEAR. THE DOLPHIN HAS DONE ALL OF THIS WITHOUT ANY
MOTOR PROBLEMS TO SPEAK OF. THE LAST TWO TRIPS (FLA. AND THEN N.Y.
CITY SHE'S RUN HOT IN LOW HILLS BUT FINE IN THE MOUNTAINS? GO
FIGURE!
THE PLAN IS A NEW COOLING SYSTEM THIS SPRING. WATERPUMP,
BELT, RADIATOR. SO NOW THAT I'VE TOLD YOU HOW GREAT IT IS I'LL COME
BACK TO MY QUESTION. WHO KNOWS OR HAS RELATED EXPERIENCE THAT WOULD
HELP ME DECIDE IF THIS IS REASONABLE. MY UNIT IS A 1984 DOLPHIN R22
MOTOR 4 SPEED TRANSMITION. IT HAS THE FACTORY REPLACEMENT REAREND
AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION FOR OHIO. MY PLAN WOULD BE TO BUY A WRECKED
TOYOTA PICKUP OR SPORT UTILITY WITH A V6 5 SPEED THAT SHOULD GIVE ME
THE PARTS TO PICK THAT I NEED. I EXPECT TO FABRICATE MOTOR MOUNTS
BUT NOT RE-ENGINEER THE WHOLE TRUCK. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
