I would guarantee you that it would be a bunch of work...and what you would end up with might be tough to get licensed if you have to go through vehicle inspection to get your license tabs.
Some years ago, a friend of mine bought an almost new, recovered stolen Ford pickup that was mostly there except for the diesel engine, transmission and the tires and wheels, which had been removed by unknown persons before he got it. He didn't have a diesel engine, so he put in a rebuilt 460 gas engine and automatic transmission out of a Lincoln that was 5 or 6 years older than the pickup. He did a real nice job, and the truck looked factory and ran great. But he lived in the City of Spokane, and had to go through emissions inspection in order to relicense the pickup. Since the pickup VIN was for a diesel, the no-humor-at-all inspectors said it could never pass running a gas engine. He did a bunch of appealing to the authorities, but finally was told that the conversion to a gas engine would require him to have ALL of the gas gizmos and an engine the same year as the chassis for it to pass. Since his earlier engine did not have a bunch of that stuff and it would have cost a whole lot of money to do what they wanted, it never did pass. He finally gave up and sold the pickup, for about half what it was really worth, to a guy who lived in Idaho, where they did not have to mess with the inspections. He wished he had just replaced the diesel engine with another diesel, or never had got involved with the project. He had many, many hours in it, and got nothing at all for his time.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
