350 HP/900+ lb-ft torque in that short a coach will be quite strong.

Click on the PDF's for specs on the C7.
Actually its 860lbs trq. The 3126e which I have is rated at 330hp. 860 torque and the C7 is rated at 860 lbs torque and 350 hp..
Same engine, with improvements for emmisions. A few other changes such as a sealed fan pully bearing that does not require lubing. No Zirk fitting. Lowering the breather from the top of the engine to a lower position for a lower profile. etc.
Check your fan hub pully carefully. If its loose or wobbly replace it. Some have converted back to the one that you can manually lube because failures.
Make sure that your slobber tube is extended beyond your cac and radiator to prevent blowby from clogging the radiator.
A great engine, just a few thing to watch for.
