Paul....

The fellow who owned that Kaiser was from Arizona.....   I'm betting a quick call to Larry Barker
would allow you to find out who that car belonged to.   I do know the fellow had driven
the car from Arizona to the meet in Matamoras, Pa...... so it definitely was reliable !!!! 

I've never done any engine swaps in any of my cars.......   To me part of the reason I collect the cars is to keep them in their original, as manufactured, condition.   While I understand the
reasoning behind folks making the swaps......  it's just not for me. 

My best to you as you plan your upgrades to your Kaiser !!!!!!!!!!!

Kaiser Ranchero

Thanks for the info. The Ranchero was already converted to a V-8 and 12 volt. It would be nice to use it to tow our original Kaisers to shows and meets. The diaphram went out in our 52 Virginian in Kernville, Texas and Mac helped me get fuel line to by pass it and use the electric fuel pump. We hope to be in Ohio this fall and might be able to look at your cars if we can hook up. Thanks again and any other information will be appreciated.
