<VV> Need help putting 140 block into PG

[J. R. Read]

Move the 140 engine over with dual exhaust intact and still attached to 
engine.  Don't use the 110 exhaust.

Oil pan same unless someone put an aftermarket one on.

I'm not sure what sort of performance you get with a manual style 140 
attached to a PG, but it will be drivable.

Later, JR
