I want to thank all involved for these discussions.

While visiting the most honorable wizard himself (Dave Lenzi) in his abode, we looked at and talked about an 8.1 he has in a front frame and about ready to put in a coach. He has decided that this is the only way to do an engine. (That is fine for him, he is a grand wizard.)

So, I am going to investigate this at great length as my coaches engine needs attention. (Like a dead hole and oil in the air filter, it's telling me it needs some love.) After 70K of wonderful problem free miles, I can't refuse.

I will try to take enough pictures to let the community know how it goes. (Please remember that if I am working alone, it is not easy to stop and take pictures.)
