You know what folks on here always say Mike - walk away for a while, don't think about it for a bit.
Then go back when you're not wanting to kick it, and make the decision in cold blood.
And if you do sell it, for god's sake get something that's roadworthy and you can have a bit of fun with!

That's a shame.  Weldable? Maybe easier and cheaper to fit a Rover V8 into Emily than to try to sort the 260. At least the 215 is easily available and reliable. |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.
