Message	Any amount of research would have told you that a conversion is expensive, and doing it cheaply can get really costly or frustrating. I almost went the same route, but starting going over the plan and realized how flawed it was.. Taking your car and a motor/clip and dropping it someplace to have a conversion done is a risk. They certainly won't back the motor, and it's some serious jack to drop to end up with a 3300 lb paperweight. Sounds like you couldn't really afford to do it, but did it anyway. Then you couldn't afford to take care of it, and now it's dead. Sorry to hear it. BTW, what all did Z1 suggest you replace while doing the swap that you decided against?
