Now that i have said all of that, finding a motor home that has a 440 and 727 would be way cheaper and stronger.
I do like the magnum stroker with fuel injection:thumbsup:
Well, cheaper I have covered. The guy gave me this RV just to get it out of his place. I have stroker stuff on hand already. As far as stronger, this RV has the same M400 dodge chassis whether 318 or 440 from the factory. The 518 can be built to handle the torque, it is still mostly a 727 after all.
I want the fuel injection for traveling at varied elevations, and the parts availability and reliability of the serpentine set up. I will have a huge aluminum radiator with a pair of electric fans, trans cooler, and probably an oil cooler as well. I run a similar set up on my high top conversion van, and brought average running temps down from 200+ to a rock steady 180.
I had to pull the fuel tank and pump from the van last week. New OEM fuel pump has and aux port built in already-perfect for running the generator in the rv. The tank is side saddle riding inside the frame and should be easy enough to mount in the RV. Two of those 35 gallon tanks should give plenty of range.
As far as the headers go I have considered having them jet hot coated. I'll cross that bridge when it is time. I need to see if something I have on hand will work first before spending any money.
