CONGRATS Griff! :D
BTW, I notice you have a 413 in your Dodge M375 chassis. How do you like it? I had a 413 in an older Winnebago Brave and LOVED it. It ran so good that I thought surely this engine belongs in a race car. ;)
I love it!! I've only driven it 30 miles and haven't done anything to fix it up, other than to nurse it home. However, when I got it close to home, I decided to floor it while doing 50 mph and it tried to lift the front wheels off the ground.
In my opinion, shared by many others, the 413 was superior to the 440, both in a motorhome and a race car. That's why it's so hard to find them still in motorhomes. (The 1973 RM350 originally had a 440 but it'd been yanked for a race car when I received the chassis.)
BTW - I actually have six (or seven ... or eight .. I lost count) motorhomes scattered around interior Alaska ... people keep giving them to me. (I only list the ones I've dragged home.)
