[TD27 Diesel Engine in an R50?]

I know that I would have to change out the gas tank, gas lines, etc for the engine swap of the TD27 diesel engine to be complete but what I want to know is would it be a huge deal or would it be fairly possible? I know where a couple are here on the east coast starting from about $1500 to about $2500 rebuilt & my poor little 3.3 is nearing the 200K mark & I am begining to think about the future. I just wanted to get some input on what you guys thought.

The big 24oz blue Monster Energy Drink.

 

Believe it or not I don't drink alcohol/liquor (my wife does though - beer, wine, mixed drinks, shots, moonshine...er uh wait we don't have any of that).

[Do you have other Pets?]

he is definitely a cutie for a punt, pass n kick dog (anything smaller than a german shepherd is named the afore mentioned)

 

Now I have a 70+ lb. female brindle & white Pitbull thats not very tall (definately not as tall as a German Sheppard) so is she a punt, pass n kick dog?

[I'm not new perse']

So I've had an account since sometime last June but have only been PMing or reading posts. I'm sure a couple of people know me from other sites under the same name or screwinitupagain (some people made me "adjust" it) but I figured I'd say hey. Pretty much anything about my Pathy that matters can be found in my signature or my profile. I've got some things in the works but it'll probably be summer before everything is up to par. Also she's my DD but I am still not afraid to go all out when I finally do have a chance to get out & play. So...yeah.

18" barrel is fine. 15" unless you go through the SBS process will land you in jail as it's a Federal Firearms Felony.

 

Blah blah blah, its only illegal if you get caught.

 

I'm not so sure about that law anyhow b/c I've purchased a sawed-off shotgun from a pawn shop, twice (once in WV & once in NC) without any special permission from the goverment (God knows you have to ask them to do anything anymore & they still sh!t all over you). The way it was explained to me, by a man of the law no less, was that if the shotgun is manufactured from the company it's registered a certain way but you can sell, posses or purchase a "modified", and I use the phrase lightly, one legally so long as you are not caught making the "modification" without all of the hoops & extra sh!t. Oh & without them knowing what you have in your household no less (they don't need to know anyhow).

 

Anywho, I'm not worried. Law enforcement & goverment have no need to "come into" my domain. I'm not out killing or robbing or gang bangin' with any weapons I have so who cares what I have. Hell I pay my taxes, I support a couple hundred people on Wellfare from my hard earned money alone; I don't cheat, steal or molest the system (and what a sh!tting one it is too), so all I ask is to be left alone.

 

Sorry to highjack by the way

I've not mounted anything on my Pathy but about 5 or so years ago I had an 81 Bronco that was my offroad vehicle & I had mounted (screwed it in) a Fobus Roto Paddle Holster to the right of the steering collumn under the dash. I kept my Glock 30 (sub-compact double stacked .45) there when I went offroading deep in the mountains on old logging trails & strip mines back home in WV (there are many cookers of Meth as well as many many Marijuna growers to look out for). The way it was positioned I could keep my left hand on the steering wheel while grabbing the pistol with the right if need be.

 

Also I wouldn't mount those 2 shotguns in your vehicle for the simple fact that the barrels are too long. I would go with an 18" Mossberg 500 (or maybe a home constructed 15" barrel) with a pistol grip if you are wanting to mount them on the roof as apposed to simply having them laying around the back end. But just my $.02
