Mike:
In the 78's did the cooling system run throughtout the coach as well, with a
summer/winter switch setup, if so, then you have to make sure you are in the
winter position so all of the coolant throughtout the coach is drained.

Sorry about that. Your bird was produced when the speed limit was 55 and
diesel fuel was cheap. I would change the rear gear to a 4.6 and make sure the
valves are adjusted. There has been information posted about the value of
enhancing the inlet air volume to the engine. It is unadvisable to try to wring
more power or engine speed out of the 210 NA, it's will wind too tight as it is.
It is best to keep the speed parameters between 1900 and 2800 rpm, as you won't
be happy if you drop a valve. With that thought in mind, new valve springs might
not be a bad idea. Upgrading to a 250 or 300 Cat would be major league in cost
and effort.
Flushing the cooling system is not any different than any other vehicle, just
more capacity. When refilling it's best to have the nose of the vehicle up hill
so the air will find the radiator opening easier. You do want to get all the air
out and keep an eye on the PH of the coolant. Napa has some expensive stuff
(coolant treatment) to dump in the radiator you should buy. Usually the belts
are the thing that screws you, so keep a close eye on them and don't let them
get out of adjustment. Use belt dressing regularly. I share your amazement at
the amount of interest in furniture issues.

I guess I asked the wrong questions to the wrong group.
No responses or suggestions for best rear end ratio or the
best/proper way to flush the full coolant system.
I realize it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, I was
just looking for helpful suggestions.
I did look in archives and found a few threads that where helpfull.
Just a little disappointed that a dinette table leg got 10x more
responses.
I'm guessing I've brought up questions that have been brought too
many times before, so I will look further into the archives of all
the groups I have joined.
