[FC] help

I agree with David.  The 3.8 would be great for the van. I want to use the
Cad because of the extra weight of the LIMO. By the time I get all the
interior in it and a few extra people, I will probably need the extra power
of the Cad 4.9 engine.  It has a 'Vair 110 motor and a 3.27 dif. in it now.
It does surprisingly well but when I get it all decked out it will really
suffer with the added weight.   I'd like an automatic, anyway!!!   I was
hoping to have it ready to bring to the Kentucky convention for it's debut,
but, the best laid plans of mice and men..................!!!  I guess now
it will be Portland.   Maybe Palm Springs in
November, --------------------------Hmmmmmmmmm!!
