Thanks everyone...that is all very helpful. Its about an hour away and I will likely need to borrow someone's pickup so I am hoping to get it sorted before going.
And yes, I do believe dear Nate got me confused with "the other girl" ;-) I definitely have a 126... and she's white. No engine swap...just basic beginner stuff for me.
Thanks for the tips...I will keep you posted...if it works out this would be a sweet upgrade from what i have now!
