At the lunch bunch yesterday Greg Breem mentioned that the engine in his 78 Buzkick-Royale is in trouble but he has access to a fully rebuilt 455 coach engine that he can get at a reasonable price. From what I remember looking at the 403 here, there are more than a few changes. I do have zero first hand experience with this swap.
Does anyone have better information if this is a realistic thing to expect to do and not end up with something that is a mess?
Greg is not a mechanic and would have to trust someone to do the job right.
