We have been "on the road" since early June. Just logged 5,000 miles and still have another 800 to go before landing at brick & mortar home base next week.
Finished reading post from rlchv70 a few minutes ago. Golly, I'm impressed. Looks like a class A job with the conversion. But, agree with Mr. Wiz that moving muffler to external location would be a major plus in cooling. Been there, done that. Big fan is nice but robs power. Extended exhaust pipe to muffler and then a 2-3 foot tail pipe really cuts down on exhaust noise as well. I could not determine a loss of engine power using 1/2" exhaust pipe and 3/4" tail pipe. I wrapped my exhaust pipe with header heat wrap as well. Of course, one must use a flex joint to keep from cracking piping. Just my humble opinion :)
