No I never got my setup running- just collected parts. I still have the shortblock and will likely put that to use someday but I’m months away. I think we’re already talking on the fb 496 forum
I’m sure many shops could do it. If you go on the 8.1l Facebook group, there is a guy out of ca that modifies them and them sells them. I want to say they run about $550. I can hunt him down and pass along the contact info if you’d like to grab one.

Hi all. So I’m interested in getting one of the peninsula rv spots with a beach on the river sometime this summer for a weekend. I checked out the website and they’re booked. Called and confirmed they’re booked for the summer. Anyone have a reservation that they may be thinking of backing out...
