Thanks so much for your kind words and support! Yep, I just went with Scania engine cause its cheaper and easier to find spare parts for it. YAZ isn't completely shot down but here no parts for it anyway.
The tires are going to stay until I can afford new ones.
Here some more pics, just have...
Thanks Ahab!
Yes, they are bolted to the engine block, 4 bolts per side. Motor mounts were made by using 1/2" x 3" and 1/2" x 4" flat stock. Bolts are M12x1,5.

I think your definition of knowing nothing about everything was just the best!
Hands down!
This our hobbie, Olive Green/Desert Sand is a great place to make this process you described well above go on and on and on!
Thanks a lot to the military stuff!
Here at the SS I make real friends...
As we grow older and get older too, the amount of trouble we get into grows up too![thumbzup]
I thank you for the encouragement all the time!
