I was hoping that it wouldn't come to that but I always guess I can stock up on 1500 series spares as they're cheap and easy to come by. By pirate site what do you mean? Never heard of it. I would at least like to see what it takes to modify the 2500 CVs for a 1500. Your also right because for $320 I could pull the motor and wiring harness and radiator and drop them in my 1960 Biscayne and scrap and part out whats left and either make money or break even and have a good motor for basically free. Thanks for the help I was just hoping that maybe I would get lucky and that there would be some parts interchange.
