Any thoughts or recommendations if you were to do it again?

My dually has been road worthy for >6yrs w/the battery under the truck vs in the engine compartment. It's a PITA to access if the truck is air'd out so that's something to keep in mind.
Beyond that, the worst thing is having to lie on the ground if I wanted to help jump-start someone. Easy enough on a dry day.... Not so when it's wet or worse. My 64 will also have the battery under the bed floor but I'm making access via the floor a priority as I do the floor. There's also the remote terminal pods that can be used as well but I'm going to do my best @ keeping things simple w/what's there as my first option.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
