Right on Gimpster!

This is a doable project. I'm not saying it wont take some work, though.

Be an innovator, not a imitater.

i know a shop that has done it...with the cost of parts (them supplying the head) and labor....it makes more sense to jsut save a few hundred more, and buy an h22a then put it in yourself.
