[VACList] Motorhome engine replacement



Hello Folks,

I went back to Alabama to get my new-to-me 1983 Airstream motorhome, and 
found that is has a bad rod bearing. I would like to put  in a Target or 
Mr. Goodwrench engine, but the upshot of dozens of phone calls is that 
GMC/Chevy doesn't have the carbureted 454 motorhome engine available any 
longer - it's too OLD! Kind of like me.

The coach is presently in Huntsville, AL, in the northern part of the 
state. I love the rig, and, one way or another, WILL get a good motor in 
it and bring it home to Santa Cruz, CA.

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, and Merry Christmas,

Rik
