  Before you start on the roof, you need to check the underframe all over with an ice pick in suspect areas. You might find that there is a lot of hidden rot or frame cracks that would make continuing unfeasable. As far as the roof, I would completely strip it and remove all patches. Cut out any rusty areas, Prime with good rust preventative paint, and then recover complete top with new metal.

I had the same problem when I got my 4905. Rather than put a whole lot of dollars into venturi, I took the cap off the vent and put a plastic pipe  T about six or eight inches off the roof and parallel. In fact had two vents close, put two tees upthere and have no more odor coming from the bathroom.

I can't believe this thread Chris you need to stop listening us and others on the phone and go forward with a rebuild or exchange it's really not that complicated of a deal if you didn't trust the dealer why tow it there there were other options,the heads should have came off that engine the day it arrived then you would have some idea of what the problem was not 3 days later

Hey Clifford, there was a guy near here that owned several conversions.  He was selling a 4106 with an 8v92. 

POR 15 is a great product and I use it.  It's a two or three step process and step one is treat with what they call Metal Prep, which is dilute phosphoric acid (this is the actual brand the I do in fact use).  After the acid converts the rust the PO% 15 paint is applied with a brush, it brushes on (indeed wear gloves) flows out really well to a glossy finish and dries very hard, as it powder coat hard and you have to grind it off if you want it off for some reason.  Step three is a top coat if it will be subject to sun, as the colour fades quickly.  I use it on race car frames.

The block model number is just the way it came from the factory in 1973.  It would have been turned into a core and rebuilt before it got to you.  Ignore the model number on the block, it's completely irrelevant now.

You could take that Eagle to the scrap yard and make money. I wonder if that's a misprint.

Hard to beat the character and classic feel of this blast from the past:

The model number will do you do good from a original 4106 they had a GM diesel high block engine all the guy need to do is order parts for a non turbo 8v71 all the late model blocks from DD had the space for the after cooler with or without a turbo yours is nothing special the block doesn't care which way the parts inside are turning

They actually have invited us to shadow them.. we are both really excited about that opportunity to learn

You will probably learn words that you may find shocking....oh sugar will evoke laffter...and good natured derision....nag dab bit is probably acceptable......use your best Popeye swagger or pop for a set of ear plugs....

PS it will definitely give you a thorough appreciation of the cost...
