Gav, looks like you are on a winner with that pickup, that good old 186 banger will go forever.
Drop a crow torque cam in it while it's apart, or even a cam from an EFI (Black) six, they are much the same.
The Cabstar five speed conversion pushes the motor forward by several inches, so i wonder if there is any need for mods to be done to the front of engine bay ie crossmember, radiator support panel etc. I know there is a four inch gain with a six cylinder engine bay, but i wonder if it's enough. Did you get to check out the engine bay of the vehicle it came out of? Rod (67Hardtop) might be able to help with the answer.
I may have some of the fitting instructions here for the Marks Conversion, i will check later.
Cheers, Mick.
