[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
