Scott,

OK, I've got some questions.  Is there any difference in the bearing 
journal sizes?  Rod big ends, or main bearings?  Do you use the stock 
rods, or rods from the Eurovan block?  How about pistons?

Well, just tell me all of it!  (Did you have "fueling problems"?  Was EC 
mag correct?  Are you still running it?  What?)

Thanks,

Ken
