Hello all, I am considering rebuilding the engine and trans in my coach over the winter and have a few questions.
My plan is to pull the entire front frame clip from my parts coach, rebuild it all and slip it into my driving coach.
The parts rig has 45,xxx miles on it and the driver has 100,xxx miles.
Is a standard rebuild the best approach or are there a few modifications that should be done?
If there are recommended modifications while the engine is apart, what are they?
I plan on keeping it carbureted. I'd like to block the exhaust crossovers. I'll probably install headers. I wouldn't mind a few more horsepower but don't want to sacrifice reliability or drive ability.
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
