Prevost engine swap possible?

Wow! That's a LOT of great input in almost real-time. I think I'm gonna like this forum!
Plenty of good suggestions here - including the vote to go with the DD as is, because it is a very reliable rig. I've heard of them running happily with a holed piston, though I certainly would hope never to be in that position! Believe I'll talk to Country Coach (it's their conversion) about the motor swap, as they've done all the maintenance on the rig since new.
Thanks again for all the good poop. I'll keep the forum updated on how we do with this search. We're moving up to a tag-axle pusher so I can mount my big BMW moto on the rear, and move up from the 5'er we've pulled it around in for several years.
Best regards to all.
