You get first refusal  :-)
At some point the stock motor will die, 138K now, how long will It be?
Then... I gotta decision to make!

Lots of trailer towing trips up to the lake in the next years, got some land
up there that I need to set up on and the Square and trailer will be up and
back a lot so Ill probably be making engine decisions sooner rather than
later.
