thank you for all your help and advice. I had figured that using the B30 may be the only (practical way to go). Also, it came to my mind when I was thinking about crawl boxes and such, i remembered that the 303 had a mid engine and the extra length could spell disaster in that department. I guess no...

Mike, As far as the smoking exhaust on deceleration, I have heard one very involved explanation that requires strategic placement of one way check valves. In my experience, I think I have found a slution to the problem at least with my truck. What I found was that there was motor oil pooling in the...
