Man it looks good!
I know what it's like to be deployed and dream dreams about the next project--what else is there?
So you decided to go with the 2f? I dont think you can go wrong there---ease of maintenance, resell value, and they perform just fine
I am putting a 79 2F in my 71 but it is still in the process of being shipped. Any issues with hooking things up on the 78 motor using the 68 wiring, hoses, etc?
best of luck
