NDT is correct in that you need more fuel, ether alone will not do it. However, the M75 does not run in reverse. What he is probably recalling is the cam runs reverse to the civy models because it is gear-driven, not chain driven.
Here's the list of SR-71s and A-12s on public display. There are a few others not on the list as they are not in public places.

That indeed looks like it could work. At least there is a decent amount of room to work with and rearranging mounting brackets would be easy. Gerald, I will keep you in mind.
Austin has M142 mounts for $275.00. That's a pretty good price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-M142-M60-Cradle-for-Vehicle-or-Pedestal-Mount-M151-Jeep-UFIX-/201228806099?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eda2be7d3
The last one I bought was 8 years ago. I had to track it down in Jamaica and it ended up costing us $15k with shipping. I have not heard of another since. I would have to value one at $25k or more. It would cost more than that to have one build.
The factory air horn may or may not be too restrictive to the setup. We never bothered with the factory air horn. You are going from a stock 350 cfm setup to a 600 cfm and it could effect the carb tuning. Or not at all. Generally with the V-100, the improvements gained with this setup and an...
Stock manifold will not work. Boat anchor POS. The carb will not interfere with the radiator. Just use a low profile top hat filter, I think 10". fits great.
1406 Edelbrock carb with Edelbrock or stock Mopar manifold. Work awesome right out of the box. No tuning needed. Anything else is pretty much a waste of time and money. We have picked up the manifolds for $25.00.
Fact is this all varies from state to state. Check with any hot rod guys in your state and they can tell you how to legally title almost anything. Might not be easy or cheap, but it would be legal. I've been into off-road motorcycles for 30 years. Sold as off-road only, they can be legally made...
The reality of armor is nothing is cheap. You pay, either up front for something really nice in the first place, or you pay later with the misery of trying to find the right parts, shipping, paperwork( Form 6 for parts, too) and the risk of getting the wrong part, or junk part, or scammed. Then...
The problem with the Saurer is parts. You blow a gearbox, you are done. Secondary drive, done. Track?? Even if you find these parts, they all require a Form 6 and will be big $$ to just ship. As for values, its all supply and demand. The better stuff is going to cost you. There is a reason for...
