[C38] Found a good engine here- Is it too big???

[Max Soto]

Hi Peggy, 
That's so good to hear that you have that engine installed. 
How hard is to replace the filters and checking the oil dipstick on the "maintenance side" of that engine????? Is starboard, right??? 
  If you have some pics, please send them so I can check how tight it fits and  if any modifications were made to the engine bed.  
Regards,
Max
