Thanks, will do

Thanks NDT and Jeepsinker. The idea of swapping out the engine and trans is an interesting one. Any idea of where I could find one and what kind of cost? If it is indeed the fuel filter that's clogged and I decide to replace it with an in-line fuel filter can I simply remove the existing fuel...
