All do respect re 5.9. It mite be OK for no hill terrain and no tow in a small lite coach. It is so underpowered, in even a dually pickup, that Chrysler went to the 6.? It only has 400lbs torque, had more in my, dynoed, 455 Olds that I did up in my 12,000 GMC Classic 26ftr. Also no sleeves so not a good rebuild candidate.

Re; delamination, he told me interior walls, even if fiberglass, will have to see the extent. I have 45 yrs experience with composites (had the first fiberglass Soap Box Derby car in N. America 45 yrs ago) and spent the last 15 as Sculptor/Special Effects Fabricator in the film industry. My main concern is being able to get all the mold out.

Anyway it's in the very back burner. Any leads to a reasonable fixer-upper please advise.
