    New guy..as of today..with questions about the M37 and engine swaps

Unless the engine is totally shot (read: rusted in half) it should stay in the vehicle. I haven't even seen this particular M37 up close yet, so immediately planning an...

It looks to be in good shape from about 100' away, but that's all I know at this point. I want the vehicle and will attempt...
