Heinz since you are going to be in california any chance of stopping at Joe
Mondellos shop and looking at his GMC engines and tranny parts? He has a 455
engine with all of the good stuff in it for the GMC motorhome for $5800.
Acording to his book it puts out 400-450HP and 440-450 ft lbs of torque. Whew!

His address is 1103 Paso Robles St,Paso Rables, CA, 93446. 805-237-8808.

It would be nice to get an opinion of his shop. Maybe they could do the
generator?

Gene Fisher just bought one of Mondellos engines. When he gets back from his
Mexico trip you might have him tell you what he learned. He had some different
opinions on the synthetic issues per mondello. Anyway, he can provide more
information.
