$260 86 Ford F350 Build
That radio is of no use to the off road community. Might be able to trade it for one that will work though. Try posting it on twowayshopper.com for trade for the kenwood tm-271 or a motorola version. I believe that the tm-271 is a VHF or 2 meter radio. The GTX trunked radio will not be compatable.- jcarr

What to do?
Heath the IP has only sat for about 3-4 months. I've never heard anything bad about Jasper but have never deal with a Jasper IDI motor either. Jasper has a good rep when it comes to gassers so I assumed, oh there's that assumed word, that they would be as good on oil burners.- jcarr

What to do?
Got the engine all the fluids and filters to do the swap. Only reason for considering a engine swap is the low miles on the "new" engine and the unknown condition/treatment/service history on the original motor. Mileage don't scare me, but the fact that it sat for an unknown amount of time and...- jcarr

What to do?
Well the squirrel mobile has about 226k on the clock and I'm starting to have a couple of problems. I have started noticing a surge in my rpm and longer crank times. Also I have obtained a Jasper rebuilt engine that is said to have 5500 miles on it. Also I got a freshly rebuilt IP and...- jcarr

More on the squirrel mobile.
i agree on the cool head. and understand keeping it pointed the right direction but the fact that a "computer" is braking my vehicle for me takes me out of control of the vehicle.- jcarr
