anyone willing to perform a crankshaft install for beer?

[jtoomasson@yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

I maybe extending myself beyond my realm here, but,

for the cost of buying a 2.0L crank and the resulting machining and possibly
pistons to work with the PL, isn't more cost-effective to just get a 9A and
rebuild it?

I realize Dan needs assistance, but labor-wise he's already talking about
swapping cranks - how much more labor is it to take care of the rest of
block?

BTW, Dan - you might want to announce where you're at, so if anyone's
inclined, they know where...
