Bluebird put 8.3's in the All American FE.

I strongly prefer an RE so I managed to find a great fit.

I think my problem is that I spoiled myself with this cherry International. I compare it to every other bus I see and they just don't compare. If I could get a 8.3 in my bus it would be dang near perfect. My next build will be a different floor plan that requires it be an RE, I'll hope to find an 8.3 or a DT. I think it's the same as someone who drives run of the mill car, thinks it's great and then drives an awesome car realize at that point what POS their great is. Charlie used not be a big fan of Cat motors, till he got once and now raises the chit out it. Likes it better than his broken DT.

I'll learn someday.

Sticks I got. To fire up the briquettes if'n I'm outta Boyscout water.
Nearest Staples is several towns over...
