Carb swap will end up costing more in the end than trying to finagle your working motor bits with a pretty big loss of reliability to boot. I can't imagine the transmission connections to ECU being anything complicated, going off vehicles of similar vintage with ECUs I remember only finding like speedo and reverse switch stuff.

Time to pack 'er up. There's no time. Even if you figure out the pedal and the brakes, who knows what gremlins lie in the electrical. Nothing's tested. Focus on the Daytona and on getting home to you cat. This has been incredible...and don't tell anyone but I always thought the wheels would end up killing you.

The Daytona was a long shot anyway. You've done an incredible job man, and I don't think anyone could have done better. Now there's time to think about the brake issue and all the other poo poo that needs tightening up. It was an impossible mission to begin with.

What's the word on Mercedes inline 5 diesels? I've googled a few recently for a potential diesel swap in the very far future and they seem pretty affordable but I don't know if they have the HP you'd wan't.

Hey at least now you don't have to spend hours peeling the tape off to find what goes where. Bring some zip ties.

I'm guessing delivery cyclists run faster/lighter than touring cyclists so I can see them running the dyno hard enough to charge a phone.

I'm like 95% sure that the trailer stove and other propane accessories are vented somehow but when you put a different stove inside the trailer you def run the risk of CO poisoning.

a "water bucket" so the turds are safely stored inside a layer of water, no doubt edit: the downwind property has reported widespread death of crop and livestock, contaminants are atmospheric in nature.

Awesome! I googled it and there's a dog rescue in Valentine, apparently. With a dog as chill and well trained as the one you found it shouldn't be a problem to get it to a foster home.

Oh man I gotta jump into the refrigeration chat. I was working on a fire alarm system for a warehouse full of gigantic chillers in Saskatchewan. There's a potash mine that goes like a kilometre deep but there was too much groundwater so they went we must freeze the earth itself and the ground around the shaft is artificially induced permafrost, basically. I was in this crazy set of brutalist buildings one time too, the whole mechanical room was above two separate crawlspaces, each with their own giant open-air "chimney" I guess and the spaces acted as a passive airflow system for the complex. The airflow in them was insane. The chimneys were built into the exterior walls and from looking you could never tell there was a giant 9 storey shaft that just opened up at the top.
